Hi Leanne,
Thanks for your question.
It is normal to experience a variation in your body composition after having a baby. A lot of changes have occurred during your pregnancy, an unfortunately a few of them remain after the birth, even thought that is undesired.
The good news is that we can correct that. Unfortunately there is no way to lose fat from a specific part of your body. However, if you follow a healthy weight-loss diet (with vegetables and fruits as the stars of the diet), you can reduce the amount of body fat of your body. The diet has to be rich in good quality fats especially if you are breast feeding your baby, and in this case you should not reduce the calories intake too much.
The way you lose this fat and the parts of your body that it comes out from first, varies quite a lot between individuals (your genes determine this). But if you combine this kind of diet with exercise, some of the exercises should be with your abdominal muscles. This would make your abdomen stronger, which makes more difficult that the content of the abdomen “comes out”. If you are able to do this kind of exercise already, depends on how exigent was the birth physically for you (e.g. if the birth was wit C-section that makes quite a difference, and your doctor or physiotherapist should determine this).
