I'm 5 weeks postpartum and don't know what to wear! I'm too small for my maternity clothes but too big for my regular clothes. I'm back to my pre baby weight, but my clothes are tight. I'm just tired of wearing sweats so I can be comfortable and able to nurse easily. I just want to look decent when I go out, even if it is just to drop my daughter at school! Any advice?

Buy a few things that fit you now and look decent just to tide you over a few months and see if you get back to the way you were before. That's amazing that you lost the weight already, good for you! But even after losing all the weight, sometimes our bodies are still a different shape than they were. This is because the hormone that lets our pelvises expand to get the baby out also affects all our joints, so any pressure can change our shape. Examples: hips are wider, ribcage is wider, feet are longer.
