Any tips to get a flat belly after delivery (vaginal or c-section)?

Question

Do you ladies have any tips to get a flatter belly after delivery? I am a FTM (33 weeks pregnant) looking for tips! 
I know breastfeeding helps you to burn calories,  anything else to tone up/firm up your belly and thighs?

Answer

Breaatfeeding doesnt work for everyone just fyi. Its just like loosingg weight any other time burn more calories than you take in and start working out once cleared. If bf though.make sure you get enough calories to maintain milk supply

Answer

Breastfeeding worked too well for me. I lost all my baby weight plus some. Pre baby I was 127. Post baby at my lowest I was 107. I’m 5’4 and that low of weight made me look sickly. But I could not gain weight to save my life. Baby girl took everything I had lol. 
When I stoped breastfeeding when my daughter turned two I gained 30 pounds and felt much better lol. 
This pregnancy I started at 137 and really hope I don’t go down super low again

Answer

You can't really firm it up working can help but at the end of the day youll still have a poutch

Answer

Breastfeeding worked for me but it certainly doesn't work for everyone. I dropped about 40lbs within 2 months of giving birth to my daughter. I only started to put any of that (about 10lbs) back on once I stopped but it definitely doesn't work for everyone. I didn't find breastfeeding increased my appetite at all so I was eating enough calories to maintain my milk supply but still less than what I was using. Some people find breastfeeding makes them super hungry and they end up eating more than usual so they don't end up loosing any weight. Your best bet for toning your stomach after any kind of delivery is targeted excersises. I started a postpartum mommy and baby bootcamp at about 3 months post partum and that helped alot since the trainer used exercises specifically designed for post delivery. Maybe that is something to look into?

Answer

I’m gonna try to get a postpartum belly binder to help. And then when baby’s here I’ll go on a ton of walks to help with exercise since I’ve already gained 25 lbs

Answer

Breastfeeding didn’t help me not one bit. Only exercise is going to help.

Answer

Belly wrap. It will help shrink your uterus faster and flatten your belly more.

Answer

I know a lady whose waist was soooo thin when you looked from her profile that you would never think she actually had a baby. But she did, she has a toddler,  and when I asked her how she did it she said it's breastfeeding. So I don't know. Maybe it works for some people ? I guess diet plays an important part as well, she was always snacking on veggies etc.

Answer

Breastfeeding didn’t work for me.  My son is 2.5 and my milk just dried up because of pregnancy, though he’s been dry nursing occasionally when I didn’t have a pacifier for him, lol!  I actually started gaining weight back that I had previously lost because breastfeeding makes you sooooo hungry all the time.

Answer

Yea I didn’t lose a single pound until I stopped
