Brooke Shields has warned new mothers that they should not try to lose their baby weight too quickly.

The American actress has become concerned that some mums are risking their health by worrying about their size after giving birth.

She admitted that it has taken 14 months to get back to her regular weight following the birth of her second daughter Grier.

"It's an old saying, but it took you nine months to get that way, so it's going to be a year before you're even really strong enough to start it," Shields told the US OK! magazine. "You have to give yourself the reality of time."
