Hey mamas. When did you feel comfortable wearing your baby post procedure? I'm thinking maybe the earliest I could maybe try is 1 week postpartum, but I'm curious about other people's experiences. I do have a ring sling that will probably be easiest to use .

2 weeks for me ☺️

Yeah after a week it wasn’t possible for me either especially after my 2nd. Recovery felt harder this time around

I wish I had tried the Solly wrap because it goes up above the scar unlike the clip on ones. I wasn’t able to wear her when she was little :(

I had a Mummy MOT at 8 weeks and they told me not to use slings for a while because my core was too damaged. It's worth getting it checked as recovery takes long enough without setbacks!

I couldn’t even think of trying to wear my baby before 2 weeks, I think I tried the sling after 2 weeks and a carrier at 3 weeks pp but I hated the way it felt on my stomach, not necessarily painful but my stomach was slightly swollen and squishy so it was uncomfortable and still is now at 6 weeks pp. The sling is the way to go.

Early on I always had to make sure I’d taken my pain meds right before and would sometimes have to sit periodically
Can anyone recommend some good bath toys for my 7 month old please? We have rubber ducks but would like something that is easy to clean and non toxic as she loves to put everything in her mouth!
Thank you x

Any tips or advice on the best way to transition my daughter from our room into her own. She currently sleeps in her cot in our room. Just looking for some tips and advice on how to transition smoothly?!

Ladies who have sex a few days/weeks after giving birth are only doing it for their men/to keep them happy/doing it in fear of them cheating & not because they are ACTUALLY ready or horny AND I'm 99.9% sure they don't fucking enjoy the experience either as their bodies are STILL recovering!!!
Love yourselves more ladies & stop letting your men guilt trip you into having sex & using your bodies as sex toys!

I made my best friend of 13 years the godmother to my son (she lives in GA and I live in PA. She attended both baby showers in two different states. She is getting married in Mexico next year. At the time I told her it wouldn’t be a problem for me to attend. Now that my son is here and the wedding will happen before he is even 1 I can’t imagine leaving him, not to mention how expensive the trip will be for just two/three days. She offered to help financially, she said my son can attend, but I’m not comfortable traveling outside of the country with him and my husband does not want to go or want me to go alone for safety reasons. After explaining this to her she seemed understanding. I also mentioned how I’m struggling postpartum with PPD AND PPA. She told
Me to just focus on my mental health and my baby and to let her know for sure by a later date if I could attend or not closer to the wedding. After this conversation she began to ice me out and not really continue conversations. She hasn’t asked about her godson she was so excited about or checked on me after opening up about my mental health. I confronted her about my feelings and it didn’t go well. To sum it up she feels upset and says she knows I have a village and chose to take space from me. She says I want her to get on a plane for the third time in 6 months when I can’t get on a plane for the only thing she asked me to attend. Which I didn’t not ask her to attend both showers and it was her idea to visit once he was born. We both have been there for one another through it all and it hurts to know she isn’t there for me at such a difficult time in my life and has not even asked about her godson. I think our friendship is over. Anyone have any thoughts?
