Hi Mia, congrats on your baby! And kudos for breastfeeding. If the condition is due to calorie excess, a good weight management programme combining healthy diet and activity/exercise will help. If the condition is due to a Diastasis Recti / abdominal separation, the belly could look very different from just normal weight gain.
