Moby Wrap after c-section?

Ashnmike528

I bought a moby to use with DD2, but now that I think about it, would it be a bad idea to use it after a c-section? Has anyone tried it?

Why would it be bad?  you might not be able to use it right away, but I'm pretty sure I could have used one within a couple of weeks after having L.  A friend of mine sent me a lovely duds, and I was playing with it the other night.  It sits high enough that it won't come into contact with the incision.

I used mine the first few days I was home...Actually, I think I used it in the hospital too... and I had a c-section.

That's good to hear! I was afraid of it irritating the incision site. I had c/s with DD but never had to wear her since I could just carry her. But with a toddler who constantly needs me, I'm sure wearing the baby would make life easier.

I think you could totally use a moby after a c-section...it should be high enough but if it slides a little its really soft so it shouldnt irritate

It sure does!  I use my moby and/or my ergo every single day.

I started using the Moby a few days after I got home. It never bothered me at all. I needed a little help the first time I put the wrap on b/c I couldn't really twist, but after that, it was fine.

I used it without any problems with both boys...
