Many of our favorite baby carriers will work wonderfully for mothers recovering from cesarean deliveries, especially now that so many c-sections are done with very low transverse incisions. A well-fitted (or well-adjusted) carrier will be the best choice to eliminate strain on your abdomen (or back).
Some moms have success using a Hotslings Pouch, assuming that sizing is correct. …show more content…
As mentioned earlier, the vast majority of c-sections utilize a low, transverse incision … and almost any carrier can be used without touching the sensitive area as it heals. Instead, a high and tight fit will ensure that the incision site doesn’t experience any strain or pulling that may arise from a looser fitting sling. The discomfort from an ill-fitted baby sling will be more pronounced for a mom recovering from surgery than it might be in any other postpartum mother.
Ring Slings and Moby Wraps can be adjusted for a perfect fit each and every time a baby is carried (hours old, weeks old, months old) and in any position (cradle, tummy to tummy, hip). Some moms heal quickly from c-sections, but some moms take longer to recover. Ring Slings and Moby Wraps will ensure a high and tight fit both during and well beyond a mom’s respective recovery period. Both baby sling types are also easy to use from a sitting or resting position, and are perfect for use even in the hospital.
Ring Slings and Wraps are not only our favorite for nursing and for newborns in general, but are also baby slings for moms recovering from a cesarean deliveries.
