People Editorial Guidelines Published on August 10, 2018 12:25 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Jessica Alba is totally okay with the fact that “it takes time” to get back into a normal routine after baby — and that extends to her body, too. The actress and Honest Company co-founder got candid on Thursday’s episode of PEOPLE Now about how she didn’t feel as much pressure to lose the weight after son Hayes Alba, 7 months, was born as she did with her two daughters Haven Garner, 7 on Monday, and Honor Marie, 10. “I felt more pressure when I was younger. Now that I’m older, I’m a little easier on myself,” says Alba, 37. “It just takes time and you just have to let your body heal and take the time. It’s baby steps.” “Every little milestone is meaningful to me, though,” she admits. “Like when I can finally put on a pair of jeans that I couldn’t wear before or that didn’t fit.” Want all the latest pregnancy and birth announcements, plus celebrity mom blogs?
