My son just turned 2, and I still haven't lost my belly bulge! I'm exercising every day, but I just can't get my stomach to tighten up. Right now I do yoga & bellydance, run on a treadmill, and use a balance ball and resistance bands. I've lost 20 pounds, but my stomach actually looks worse! I've also tried several different firming lotions, but none of them seem to make any difference. My next step is to try an infrared sauna or an herbal wrap to try to shrink the skin around my belly. Has anyone tried those, or can you recommend anything else that worked for you? I'm not looking to be a swimsuit model, I'm just want to fit in my jeans again!
Try truthaboutabs.com. I also have been in a constant struggle to try to lose the baby belly. I have 4!!. I started doing research the last few weeks and it is highly recommended by trainers and medical pro's alike. Good luck!! Keep us posted
Have you done actual ab exercises? I find that even just 10 minutes a day makes a huge difference in my appearance. And I have 2 kids -- first from C-section, 2nd vaginally. It works! =)
Just to add to what everyone else has said. A trainer that I have worked with told me that you cannot do the same ab exercises day in and day out. You have to change them up to kind of fool the muscles. I do 4 different ab exercises. Try also using a mop stick put it on your shoulders and do twists without moving your upper body. Also bend left to up to right with stick on your shoulders. It does wonders.

For a couple of reasons you may want to take a look at my web at livingwithsolutions.com
One reason is we have a great weight management program and if you are a stay at home mom you may be interested in making a few extra bucks while you raise you little one.
Good Luck

you won't lose the rest of the weight or tighten up until you start eating healthy all of the time.
You might look into a post-maternity belly wrap. I have read that they are commonly used in Asia and work well.
