The Pressure On New (Celeb) Mums To Shift The Post Baby Pounds

by admin on March 17, 2008


Read an article on this today and it caught my eye especially as I just visited some friends yesterday  and their  gorgeous new week old little bundle of joy.

Isn’t that what it’s meant to be though ? A joy? Not having to be worrying  about losing baby weight immediately ??

The article I read on style.uk stated that : “Celebrities can set a misleading example for new mums,” says Fiona Ford, a research dietician at the Centre for Pregnancy Nutrition at the University of Sheffield. ” In the real world, who has the specialist resources and advice required to achieve these miraculous transformations, let alone access to regular baby-sitters while you exercise or prepare special meals?”

All these celeb mums we read about seem to be under so much pressure which is then passed down to mums in the real world !

It is only natural of course to want to be working towards the goal of getting back into your pre-preggers jeans .. but do give yourselves a break !

Here’s my latest pick on perfect gifts to give/send to a new mum
