The first month was more healing and getting to know how to look after a baby for me.

I had 4th degree tears so sitting down and eating and breastfeeding was a pain for me already, let alone walking around.

Having said that, after the healing, it has been great. I basically go out everyday, shopping, walking and comparing shopping centres parents rooms ehhe.

I usually have to plan 1 day ahead though. ie, if i wanted to go out shopping then at night I will put the clothes in the wash and start the machine at DD's 6 AM feed. Pack all the stuff the night before and so on.

So, yes, if you plan a little bit ahead, walking and shopping is absolutely doable and to be honest, keeps you sane =)

Goodluck =)
