Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your description. I suggest you be careful. You are not suppose to do rigorous exercises up to 6 months after delivery. Then you can slowly make the exercises harder. Skipping should do good after a year after delivery. Now you can jog and dance lightly and do some joint rotation exercises. Treadmill should also work well.

Skipping is harmless. In fact it helps to have firm breasts.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
