So I had a c-section 5 days ago. I want to try wearing my little man, but I'm still sore getting up and down and moving around. I've been pretty uncomfortable.
Did any of you baby-wear after a c-s? When did you start, and do you wish you started sooner or that you'd waited longer?
Re: Moby/mei tai after c-section?
If you can keep everything above your waist/more towards your ribs you should be ok (it should be fairly easy with an itty bitty.
Just try and keep everything away from your incision area and if it feels uncomfortable just stop and try again later, you don't want to put yourself in more pain than you already are.
Would your SO be interested in wearing your LO?
Thanks for the advice! He is a bigger boy (almost 9 pounds) and very strong, and I had a 'rough c-s' according to the doc... but I may try in the next day or two. DH is home for now and can help me if it's uncomfortable.
Right now I just feel bad about the amount of time he's spending sleeping in his crib.... after about twenty minutes my arms and shoulders ache unless I'm using a boppy while sitting... and then I get warm and uncomfortable and want to shift my weight, which is hard with him there.
I hope this works!
