How long should I wait to start wearing it after giving birth?

Any postpartum support can/should be used starting as soon as possible after birth to help maximize effectiveness.

I got it for my daughter. She had a caesarian. She started wearing the waist band after and her doctor told her it was okay for her to do so. I believe it was about a month after giving birth. She loves it. She wore it about 4 to 6 hours a day for about 2 to 3 months. She got her shape back.

You should wear this as soon as u have your baby..uncomfortable a bit but worth it.

Newborn to six months or so is best. If they don't use it from a newborn, they may not like it.

Once you wear it, with the help if your body heat and insulation of your clothes it should last for 30 to 45 minutes.

I would say yes it's too early. Baby has to be able to sit up and hold neck and head up well. I think it's good to have at around 6mos.

We had our son in it at three months but I think it's safe to say that as soon as the baby can stabilize his/her neck you good. Newborns(depending on the size) probably won't work as well. Plus my son used it past the 25lb limit and did just fine:)

I typically just put a onesie with long sleeves on the baby for the colder months. For the warmer months I will just put the sleep sack on by itself so the baby does not over heat.

My daughter started wearing hers at about 7 months & continued with it till 2 and she wore it all the time, even when sleeping. Never had a single problem with her grabbing it or falling off.

It would have to be very loose clothing like a smock. The directions caution about wearing it for an extended period of time. I have found that it works well to start by wearing it for an hour the first day or two; then I wear it for two to two and a half hours thereafter.

The first size I'd get would be a size above wha. I wore pre-pregnancy. This depends on how much you gained I guess too. It took a few weeks before I was back in my regular clothes (close to it)...and then I needed the smaller size. Guess overall it depends on how much you gained in comparison to what you normally wear.

Might be a little late as you should have started almost immediately after birth. I ended up with Csection so I couldn't use it. You can however use under clothes as a girdle-like. Hope this helps. And congratulations!

Don't bother with this girdle, it's very uncomfortable to wear and will show under your clothes. The best thing after delivery is to wear a medical grade abdominal binder. Ask for one at the hospital if they don't automatically provide you with it, or buy it yourself from a medical supply store like better braces. Trust me, after wearing the binder for only a month, my stomach flattened to where I could fit in pre-pregnancy skinny jeans. Now 3 months later my figure is great, the compression from the binder helped. I don't believe this girdle could ever help produce similar results.

Hi You could maybe double it up- that's what we did when we were at the hospital. You can also always put a blanket over the end of the bassinet if you are worried about the baby being cold. They can't regulate their own temperature that early so you really don't want them to get too hot either. I would put a hat on the baby, too for the first little bit. Sorry- not sure if that helps or not )

No, wait like the last comment said and do research on why you have to wait the 4 to 6 weeks. You aren't giving your skin the chance to heal and build the collagen to improve, you may in turn be damaging your skin. Research first

It's very conservative to mimic your breast flow. It's just for baby when the pull becomes stronger say about 3/4 months.

Your call but I'd say not much. I live in MN and use it all winter but once it warms up into the 50's-60's we take it off and put on the spring one. It's warm when the baby is already wearing warm clothes.

We started at 4 1/2 months, but our daughter is in the 98th percentile, and is very strong. I would say 5 to 6 months would be more appropriate for the average baby, only because they need to be about 26" long to reach the floor while sitting in the seat, which is important for hip development...or so I've been told. Good luck:)

I wear it for about an hour and a half at most. I use it weight training. It always is snug and retains its shape. Great product.
