There are many good brands. Maya wrap, Sakura Bloom, and wrap conversions are great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2373750 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 21:59:25 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2373750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: was it really comfy wearing the ring sling? I imagine that would be one of the best ways to baby wear after a c-section now that I think about it. Do you have a specific brand? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2373565 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 19:01:38 +0000 Coffee-lover 2373565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a csection and started wrapping within 2 or 3 days of getting home from the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2373490 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:35:38 +0000 autumnlove 2373490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: I started wearing LO 3 in a wrap around 3.5 weeks PP!

Yeah, I hear you. Im fine while im wearing, but if I've worn her too long I am sore after. I also have a big baby (and belly fat that isn't going anywhere) i wasn't wearing my tula high enough, I must have always worn my second too low, becasue when I read about adjusting to my natural waist it made a world of difference </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372837 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 10:48:06 +0000 Finfan 2372837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@My Only Sunshine: I'm thinking of getting a K'tan! I don't know if any stores around here sell them but maybe I'll get one online. I don't want to mess with a Moby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372799 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 10:25:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2372799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll answer again. With my second I was wearing her in the hospital with a ring sling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372785 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 10:18:59 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2372785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: Hopefully you heal quickly and can wear baby with no pain soon! I was wearing mine for two hours during dinner sometimes and that was pretty uncomfortable even while sitting. What you described is exactly what I had and my babe is up over 11 pounds now, but was pushing 10 at two weeks. I wore a belly bandit underneath the tula one day and that did help a bit because it couldn't push my extra tummy flab. It just meant I had to tighten the strap a bit more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372730 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 09:43:57 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2372730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: Do you have a K'Tan or a Moby or similar wrap? The Ergo sits so low on the mom's body, I can see how it would irritate a c-section incision. I had a Moby which sat nice and high and wasn't an issue. I'm thinking of getting a K'Tan for this pregnancy so I don't have to deal with the wrapping of the Moby though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372624 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 07:35:10 +0000 Finfan 2372624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OhCaptain: I'm pretty sure it's in the right spot since this is my second LO in the Ergo. I don't think I worded that very well. It isn't resting on my incision so much as putting too much pressure on my extra chub and squishing THAT down. I think I will have to wait a few more weeks until I've dropped more weight/ things have shifted back in to place. My baby is also well over 10 pounds so that's not helping either! </p> <p>@Mrs. Goose: Oh that's good. I wore her for maybe 10-15 minutes during a fussy period and she fell right to sleep but I had to sit down because of the pain. Glad to hear it is getting better with time for you. I'm really looking forward to being able to wear here for a while since I have two LOs now and need my hands free to chase the older one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372606 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 06:18:39 +0000 Dandelion 2372606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had him in a sling within a couple weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372599 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 04:39:30 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2372599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: I think I did about two weeks after my surgery. I have a Tula and a wrap. Both were not laid on my incision, but both put pressure on my incision because a lot of the baby's weight falls into the belt around my tummy. I experienced discomfort for longer periods of wearing, but sometimes it has been a necessity because she was sleeping in the wrap and I didn't want to disturb. I am nearly at 6 weeks pp and my discomfort while baby wearing is far far less. So you will probably have to wait it out. Try it for short periods of time until it feels more comfortable. Personally, it didn't help me to have the waist belt up higher because everything was still pushing down and putting pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372593 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 02:31:33 +0000 OhCaptain 2372593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was about 2'weeks for me too. @finfan: make sure the waist belt is at your natural waist. It's a lot more comfotable and should be Well<br /> Above your incision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372584 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 01:26:03 +0000 lilteacherbee 2372584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Finfan: I started wearing LO2 at 2 weeks old in the k'tan. It was high enough that it didn't come near my incision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-2372576 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 00:47:22 +0000 Finfan 2372576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is an old thread I thought I would bump instead of starting a new one. Anyone have a recent experience? I had a C-section nearly 4 weeks ago and I tried the Ergo on yesterday and it laid right on my incision. :crying: So painful! Wondering what other people have experienced with baby wearing and C-sections? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-569823 Sat, 16 Feb 2013 06:46:46 +0000 rrachael 569823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend lent me her Moby at five weeks and it was perfect! I had previously tried the ergo but it put too much pressure on my incision. Now at 9 weeks I could probably handle the ergo no problem but I haven't tried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-566741 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:28:40 +0000 autumnlove 566741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keiki_mama: haha, I'll have the same problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-566732 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:26:17 +0000 keiki_mama 566732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started wearing LO in the Moby at 5 weeks but would have tried sooner if my overbearing mom would let me. I was doing a quasi Chinese sit moon and she wouldn't let me do much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-566717 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:21:49 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 566717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Within a week I was already using the Moby. It was never really an issue for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-566707 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 13:17:43 +0000 oliviaoblivia 566707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore LO in the K'tan less than a week after my c-section.

The Moby was more comfortable in the beginning, so your K'tan would probably work soon after since it can sit higher up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-566537 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:01:00 +0000 LivsMama 566537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>the day I was released from the hospital. I had a Sakura Bloom Ring Sling, and wore her high up on my chest so there was no pressure on the incision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-baby-wearing-after-your-c-section#post-566528 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 11:55:35 +0000 autumnlove 566528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Which carrier did you use?
