The body was found in Avon Gorge and police have said the family of Charlotte Bevan has been informed.
A police spokesman said: "The police helicopter remains in the area to assist the continuing searches by police officers on the ground."
Formal identification will take place later.
The 30-year-old left Bristol Maternity Hospital between 8.30pm and 9pm on Tuesday night with her four-day-old baby girl, Zarnee Teanna.
CCTV footage showed her wearing hospital slippers and with her baby in her arms wrapped only in blankets.
The baby's father Pascal Malbrouck told a news conference on Wednesday that he was very concerned about her as she had suffered from mental health problems.
