I used my Jazsling in hossy 3 days post c/s
The jazsling is more of the sling type though.
The biggest problem was getting her in it and i had Mum hep me.
I didnt know of a 6 week recommedation, and wouldnt have listened purely cos i would be carrying her anyway, with or without a sling...
Is the recommendation re the c/s or baby actually going in the sling?
I think its about not putting too much stress on the scar, same as why you aren't supposed to pick bub up from below knee height and not supposed to carry washing basket etc, though I am doing both now anyway so I figure it should be ok to wear her?
i didnt pick up washing baskets - mum came over every second day for the first 3 weeks so she did it... the i got DH to hang the washing as our line is too high.
but i picked molly jane up from low.
if it caused pain i would stop and if i was sore at night i would take the next day easier.
Yeah, I just took each day as it came. I picked DD up all the time and had her in a jazsling (snap sammiejane) quite early on. Just do what feels right for you.
But I also used my ergo, and that buckles round the waist. I was told not to lift anything heavier that DS, and I figured using the sling was easier than my arms... As long as it was confortable, and didnt pull the scar area. That was from about a week after surgery...
I took DD from my hospital room, past all the midwives & Drs (who all commented on how cute it was!) and from one end of the hospital to the other in my sling when we left & she was three days old. I was using my Moby from about 4.5 weeks.
I would think if your comfy then go for it.
I found Glenn hated being int he sling & I think it was because he wasn't in it till about 8 weeks old. Where Isla was good with it & was in it from a few days old. So I think that made a difference, getting them in it & use to it early.
