Yes peripartum cardiomyopathy is reversible in some , but not in all. Stop breast feeding. Take proper medication and regular follow up. Chance of recovery is good in 60-70% of people , some may have residual dysfunction. There is chance of recurring is more in next pregnancy . Schould not go for next pregnancy for next 3yrs. After that after consulting doctor and discuss about next pregnaancy and risk.
