Let her help
Congratulations! Getting yourself back after child birth is something I'm sure many women struggle with. I'd advise you to take it slow and let your body lead the way. You've just gone through severe transformations and you're body needs time to fix itself.
When my son was born I found that I had little time for anything but attending to him and his mother. I wanted her to get out of the house some and take time for herself so I ended up with the kid pretty much whenever I wasn't at work for the first year. As dedicated as you are to that little one I'm an advocate of time for self, don't forget to have some grown up time too.
Anyway, what I'd do to pass the time when I had the kid and I felt like I needed some muscle work was to work out with the baby. I'd lay him on my chest and do sit ups, or bench press him, or put him on my legs and do lifts. Google baby workout and you'll find a few suggestions mixed in with the funk videos.

A little more.
It's not easy with a little one but trust me, as she grows and gains weight you'll see that with carring and picking her up your arms, abs and back will feel it too. When leaning into the crib or playpin to pick her up remember to contract the abs, kind of a mini crunch while standing. It's not much but it'll help some and yes, definatly google baby workouts there's a lot out there to help you. Congrats and good luck!

It can take a little time to
It can take a little time to tighten those abs back up, especially after being stretched out for 9 months. Reverse crunches are great for that mommy buldge. Start out with 20, then build from there. One leg reverse helps with the the obliques, just rest one anckle on the opposite legs knee, with no momentum tighten those abs and curl in towards your chest. Try this at least 12 X, then repeat with other side. Standard crunches with a pelvic tilt will work upper and lower abs.
This is what I've used to tighten my abs after having my 3rd child.
Good Luck with your goals!
