Question: how long does it take to lose the baby fat?
Answer: A good rule of thumb is to lose no more than one and a half pounds per week, which would be a calorie deficit of 3,500 to 5,250 calories per week, or 500 to 750 a day. While many new mothers ditch the bulk of their pregnancy pounds by baby's 6-month birthday, everyone sheds weight at their own pace.
