Let’s do a demonstration .. Stand up.. and .. suck in. Great. No gut. No problem.
Now, go and grab a niece or nephew or something between 20 and 40lbs and hold it on your hip. Now try to suck it in. You can’t. To balance that extra weight, you need to push your extra weight out. It becomes extra support for that crazy little son or daughter.
Now, if you’re a dad like Brad Pitt, and start fatherhood with a spectacularly chiseled physique, while your beer gut will exist, it won’t punch out as far as .. say .. mine.
All dads have beer guts, we can’t help it. We’re dads and we love to hold our kids.

Uh…my husbands beer gut has nothing to do with holding kids…more to do with drinking beer and not exercising.
Pshaw. It’s ALL about the way we hold the kids.
That said, there is a great workout you can do while holding your kids
