Baby Wearing After CS

ally2011 · March 2013

Hi All -

Anyone baby wear after their c section? I really want to start but am not sure when I can or how I should go about it...I am still tender to the touch if I press down between belly button and scar...pretty much where a lot of carriers sit.

I have a boba wrap (like a moby) and ergo and am 4 weeks pp today.

Thanks for any advice on this!

I started wearing my babies about a week after each of my c/s. The Ergo is my fave.

I used the Moby and had no problems, but I didn't start until about 4 weeks PP.. I didn't wait because of c/s related issues, though, more because I was intimidated by how to tie it and I felt like he was just so tiny he'd get lost in it lol. I plan to at least attempt to start wearing this LO sooner, as soon as it's physically comfortable.

I started using a Moby around 3-4w PP. Alice was on the small side though (6lb 9oz at birth) , so if you have a big baby, it may be a bit different.

I don't remember when I started wearing my daughter, but I think it was around 3-4 weeks post CS. I used a K'tan and it didn't hurt at all.

I wore DS immediately with the sling and then about 3-4 weeks with the Moby. It took that long for me to feel comfortable with the Moby being on my stomach.
