Hello there...

I too lost height after giving birth to my daughter 3 months ago. I didn't realize it until a couple weeks ago. I'm 5'8, currently nursing. I happened to be reading an article on breastfeeding and nutrition. It contained a height/weight chart. I decided to measure my height to see if my weight was accurate. To my amazement, I'd lost an entire inch! Now I'm 5'7. My last height measurement was taken back in February where I was definitely 5'8. That was only 11 months ago. I've been researching the web to see what info is out there. Since your baby was born, having you been nursing?

I ran across an article re: breastfeeding and bone loss. There may be a correlation due to the lactation process. See this blurb from the article:

Hope this helps. I'm getting a bone density test done anyway to make sure the problem isn't more serious, i.e. early signs of osteoporosis.
