Ideal weight: for a height of 5.6 , the ideal weight should be between 115 lbs( BMI: 18.6) and 154 lbs( BMI:24.9), below 115 is underweight and above 154 is overweight

Not tall enough/180: The body mass index(BMI) for your height varies in the normal ranges from 130 to 155 lbs. Hopefully, this will give you a target range to begin a post partum diet and exercise program.
