C-section mamas, I have a question for you

[Young_Mommy89]

Should I wait a while to use a sling? I'm just wondering if somehow it will pull on my incision until it fully heals

If you are allowed to pick up the baby, then it is fine to use a sling.  If the doctor is restricting you picking baby up, you may want a while to use the sling.

No idea. Never use one of those slings. They are just weird to me.

No idea

I did not use it until about a month but that was because someone was always holding the baby.

Ok, I just wasn't sure, I figure our carseat is super heavy so this is a way to carry him without my arms getting tired & not carrying a carseat that I definitely should not be carrying

I never used a sling but I remember my tummy hurting whenever something bumped into it for a few weeks after so I would think you should probably stay away from them.

 I think if it hurts don't use it but if it doesn't bother you any more than just holding baby you're fine.  Sorry I can't answer you more definitively. Just make sure it doesn't rub on the incision or it could get infected.

How long ago was your csection?

My Moby wrap was the best, I'd recommend using one.
