"Sure, breastfeeding and exercise have helped singer Christina Milian shed some of the 45 pounds she gained while pregnant with daughter Violet.\r\nHer real weight-loss secret? Her mother, Carmen!\r\nAsked Thursday at the Beverly Hills Xandros opening how she is losing the baby weight, Milian, 29, pointed to her mom and told UsMagazine.com, &amp;quot;This woman!&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;The first month, I lost weight drastically,&amp;quot; said Milian, who gave birth in February (she told Us in April that she&amp;apos;s dropped 27 lbs.). &amp;quot;On top of that, she cooked me a lot of raw vegetables and raw salads and proteins -- and it worked! I also drank a lot of water.&amp;quot;\r\nShe also credited her mom with helping her bounce back after her split from her baby&amp;apos;s father, producer The-Dream.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I have a very supportive family, so between my mother and my sisters, they are helpful,&amp;quot; she told Us.\r\nHer daughter is doing &amp;quot;great,&amp;quot; said Milian. &amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s wonderful, as happy as ever, and she&amp;apos;s growing her first two teeth. She is so adorable.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nHer baby girl is already talking. Sort of.\r\n&amp;quot;She said, &amp;apos;Mama,&amp;apos;&amp;quot; Milian told Us. &amp;quot;It was a joy. I was so excited because I wasn&amp;apos;t expecting her to do it. We said, &amp;#x2018;Say mama,&amp;#x2019; and she said it!&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
