Brief Answer:
Sure try a post pregnancy belt

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HealthcareMagic.

To reduce belly post-pregnancy, the best thing is to reduce weight. Weight reduction should be tried after lactation has stopped. Avoiding high calorie foods like butter, ghee, cheese, sweets, etc helps. Breast feeding also helps in reducing the tummy.

Post pregnancy belts are used by some women. but are not effective.

Alternate resolution (used by celebrities) is tummy tuck surgery.

Still some tummy always remains.
