hi all - i had an emergency c-section 4 weeks ago - does anyone know whether it is ok to carry my dd in a sling? or do i have to wait a certain amount of time?

If it is comfortable for you, then it's fine ... you may find, however, that it hurts your scar (I did when I tried wearing a sling after ds was born)

thanks ejt - i am generally not really sore anymore, i just wanted to make sure it wasnt going to put pressure on the wound and cause it to burst or anything. but sounds like if it doesnt cause discomfort its ok.

think it is ok
I was wearing one less than 2 weeks after my CS and had no problems. I just took it easy and only wore it for short amounts of time.

Or try a ring sling.www.littlepossums.co.uk/slings/ring-slings.htm
I prefer the wrap sling but I couldn't wear it for a while after cs because it put pressure on my internal scar.
