Delivered 3 months back and the tummy is just not going. I know it takes time but honestly thoda demotivated feel ho raha hai when nothing fits. What worked for you mommies?
In our family, we use a cotton cloth to tie around the belly after delivery, which elders say helps support the back and abdominal muscles. But please ask your doctor first, especially if you had a C-section, as we must not put pressure on the stitches. Eat healthy ragi and warm foods to recover first.
My doctor explained that it takes at least 6-8 weeks for the uterus to shrink back to its pre-pregnancy size, so don't expect quick results. Research shows breastfeeding burns up to 500 calories a day, which naturally helps reduce belly fat. For exercise, wait until your doctor clears you during your postpartum checkup.
Personally, I didn't stress about belly fat for the first six months because my baby's nursing took all my energy. I just focused on eating simple ghar ka khana and going for light 20-minute evening walks with my baby. Eventually, the weight started dropping on its own without any extreme dieting.
Yaar, please don't stress too much about belly fat right now, your body literally grew a whole human! Give yourself at least a year to recover, it's totally normal to have a soft tummy. Just enjoy this phase with your little one, gym toh baad me bhi ho jayega!
Honestly, don't waste money on expensive post-pregnancy belts or costly fat-loss supplements, they are just marketing gimmicks. Simple home-cooked food, breastfeeding, and basic walking are completely free and most effective. Save that money for baby's vaccines and regular doctor visits instead!
