Brief Answer:
It decreases by itself after sometime
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
It is normal to have big belly for few months after delivery. If breastfeeding, then reducing one's diet is not advisable.
Once the female hormones start to get back into monthly cycle, the weight tends to get back into pre-pregnancy state. Breastfeeding is a natural and very effective way to reduce post-pregnancy fat.
Wearing the belt is not very effective. More effective is to do some tummy exercises, aerobic exercises, swimming, gym etc.
Some women opt for surgery called tummy tuck operation.
