New Sleevers With Little Ones?

Sarah,

I was told no lifting more than 5lbs for 6wks because the stomach can split open.

I was told ten pounds for six weeks, then had a second surgery to repair a leak at five weeks and had to start the six weeks all over again. I'm shocked a doctor would have no lifting restrictions. Frankly that's putting a patient at risk. It's very easy to lift too much and get a leak early out.

Everyone's going to be told something different. My surgeon told me that my body is so used to picking her up that there was no restriction with her. She's was 12 months and 22 lbs, I still took it easy and didn't just hold her all the time. I would pick her up when she wanted a hug and kiss and put her back down. She really didn't understand obviously. I'd do what you feel comfortable with, if you trust ur surgeon listen to him, if you're dying to just hug your baby, take it slow and listen to your bodys cues. Good luck! Xx
