Your baby is 11 weeks old - Learn more! hi Kaka, your baby is 11 weeks old! You've probably noticed by now, but your weight loss and baby's gain aren't exactly occurring at the same rate. In fact, if you're healthy about it, losing the baby weight will take about as long as it did to gain it -- in other words, you've got a good six months to go. The good news here? No one's expecting you to be back to your prebaby weight anytime soon. Take it slow, and eat balanced meals that include fruit, veggies, and protein. Being a new mom requires far too much energy to play with fad diets and quick weight-loss schemes! MORE FROM THE BUMP Losing the baby weight? Best Kegel exercises? Nursing diet?

Watch for signs that baby's losing interest during playtime -- if he looks away, closes his eyes, or shows irritation while you're in the middle of singing "This Little Piggy" and wiggling his toes, he's telling you that he's just not that into your game at the moment. Let him have some down time when he wants it -- just like you, he sometimes needs a break.
