One week after welcoming son Sparrow, Nicole Richie is back to her svelte self.

Wearing a flowy maxi dress, the mother of two, 27, debuted her post-baby body Wednesday while running errands in Los Angeles with daughter Harlow, 20 months.

"Nicole was in a really good mood," says the X17 photographer who spotted her. "She looked absolutely amazing -- anyone who didn't know would never have guessed she had given birth just a week ago.  She even looked well-rested!"

Sparrow James Midnight Madden - who weighed 7 lbs., 14 oz. - was born on Sept. 9

While pregnant, Richie admitted she would send beau Joel Madden out at "2 or 3 a.m. to pick up In-N-Out Burger."

Still no word on how she lost the weight, but she seems to be changing her diet. After giving birth, she Twittered: "Next stop: Sushi!"

Richie also lost the baby weight fast after having daughter Harlow in 2008.

At the time, Richie said she was breastfeeding and, as a result, had to watch what she ate. She said she mostly stuck to "bland" foods, like soup and fish.

The reality star -- who designs a maternity line for A Pea in the Pod -- also said she's "made adjustments" to her style after giving birth.

"Not all my clothes fit the same. I don't even think it's a weight thing; I think your body just changes after you have a baby," she told Harper's Bazaar in 2008. "I don't care either way."

    to the Anonymous who said his name being Sparrow was going to get him into trouble later in life, one of his middle names is James, so he could go by that if he wished. Congrats to Nicole and Joel, they are such good parents!!

    That's the second time she's been seen in a Love Tanjane maxi halter dress. What a great look for her...

    I like the name Harlow. I don't care much for the name sparrow, especially for a boy, but it's not my baby, so it's not my problem. All that aside, considering how adorable their daughter is, I would think their son would be just as cute. I can't believe some of the really negative comments I've read. A new life is brought into the world, and yet some are focusing on stupid things. Grow up.

    It is so sad how many horribly hateful people are out there. Nicole and Harlow are both beautiful people. I am proud of her and how she has made her family her #1 priority. Children are truly a blessing and they are all beautiful in their own way. For anyone to call Harlow a troll face they are living in envy...she is precious and looks just like her beautiful momma:)If you want to pick on someone find somebody besides a baby...go look in the mirror and there you will see the truly ugly person.

    It's easy to look well-rested when you have a nanny to help take care of the baby. Most new moms don't have that luxury.

    That poor boy being named Sparrow. I know she thinks she is a cool hippy but that name is going to get that boy in a lot of trouble at school. So mean to do that.

    Who calls a baby "Troll-faced"? Any adult who would pick on a child or baby is beyond pathetic. Get a f@!king life. You're obviously insecure, go get some help.

    Nicole looks great whether she just had a baby or not. I admire how comfortable she is in her own skin and truly seems to not care about what anyone else thinks of her. If she can instill that kind of self-confidence in her kids all the better.

    Why would she need to eat bland food because she is breastfeeding? I've fed 3 children, never had to give up curry!

    @ mean people suck Are you serious? Nobody needs personal experience to know that true body weight health is measured by fat to lean muscle ratio. Anyone with a brain knows having muscle is better than fat, and that anorexics starve muscle away. Quit acting surprised that other people use their brains and are educated about their own health.
