Get an exercise ball and hold your baby. Sit on top, then bend your knees and roll forward until you feel your tummy muscles flex. The ball should be under your lower back in this position. Bend your legs to different degrees, keeping your back straight, resting on the ball for support. Do this in fromt of the tv, while you are holding your baby. Change some of the foods you eat and get your heartrate up over 150 for 20 minutes every day. Give yourself a break, and allow more time before expecting results. Your body has to revert back into normal mode, from hoard mode (when you were pregnant). Stick with it for at least 4 months before dramatic results happen. Make your baby part of your routine. Do 'baby lifts' and 'baby curls' using your baby as a weight. Lift your baby from side to side with straight arms to work your obliques. Lay your baby on the floor and do pushups over her, kissing her forehead every time you drop down. Having a new baby is no excuse to stop taking care of yourself. make her a part of the routine. It engages her and teaches her from an early age how important health is.

If you want to make your stomach flat, then you need to follow a proper exercise, diet schedule and get sufficient sleep. You need to get the right proteins, carbohydrates, fibers and vitamins daily in your diet. There is no magical formula to make the tummy flat; exercise and hard work is the only way to make your tummy flat.
Diet:
· Intake Low carb diet
· Do not consume foods high in sugar content
· If possible do not eat junk food. If you need to eat junk food , consume less
· Eat low fat food and avoid fried foods
· Drink fruit juices and plenty of water
· Eat lots of green leafy vegetable and fruits
Exercise: Jogging is the best exercise to start with. You need to jog for at least 20 minutes before you start doing the tummy exercises. Tummy crunch or sit ups is the best exercise for your stomach. Do the tummy crunch in different variations. The more the repetitions, the more strength for your tummy muscles. Swimming is also a good exercise for the whole body. Some yoga poses also help in strengthening the upper and lower part of the tummy and also increase the flexibility of the stomach muscles.
Sleep: Sleep is a necessity for rest, relaxation and recuperation. You need to get a good sleep, to recharge your muscles after a workout. On an average an adult needs around 8 hours of sleep. If you rest for fewer hours, the risk of becoming overweight increases.

stop eating processed grains and refined sugar. Switch to an all raw fruit/vegetables and meat (cooked of course). Do a little cardio for 30 minutes and sit ups. Take some probiotics. Check out this website at www.mercola.com
