Can this be used to push the stomach back in after birth or is it only for back pain relief?

No its just for back support you will need a postpartum belly band with velcro adjustments to push the stomach back in.

This is the only thing that worked for my nausea. It didn't completely take it away but it took it down several notches. I applied it on my belly in the morning and at night. it took about a week of consistent use before I really noticed the difference. It also reduced the frequency of Braxton Hicks contractions. Or if contractions started, a few sprays would stop them. I barely had any so it was much easier to tell when labor actually started.

My baby is 45. I strained my fused back. This helps me maintain correct posture. Cheap control garments roll down. Spanx make me feel a downward pulling in.my back. This has vertical reinforcement. I just went back to Amazon.com to order a spare one. I am sitting down as I type this, and it is not causing me any discomfort and is not rolling. Worth every penny.

It's not an insert - you basically roll the bottom part that clips around your waist and snap it so the baby sits higher. That way you can use it with a newborn (perhaps not a preemie, you'd have to look at the weight requirements). Hope that helps!

At first maybe a bit, but with use it gets softer as you use it - the annoying thing is that it leaves marks on the baby's skin for a while (though it does not bother her). I recommend this product warmly mainly because of the back support (I also have an ergo) and my baby loves it.

Our baby came out of the NICU and they used it there. We bought it for when she came home at 4 lbs. She's now about 10 lbs and we still use the insert.

I'm not sure... my wife just used it just like that. after a while it looses its firmness. so we got rid of if the minute she gave birth

I agree with previous comment - this is GREAT, but for the neck , not low back. I've also had lumbar back issues and use a back extension device called True Back Sport (got it years ago and not sure it's still available) - also for free so even better, I do McKenzie exercise for lumbar spine - which is lying on stomach on the floor, relaxing hips, pelvis and legs into floor then pushing upper body up with arms so back extends and holding for a while (I do a count of ten), then relax back down and repeat (5 to 10 times). This (plus some weight training, core body strengthening) has kept my lower back happy for years : ) I agree with previous comment - this is GREAT, but for the neck , not low back.

I used mine for light jogging at first, up until probably 25 weeks of pregnancy. That's when my little one decided it would be a great time to just lay across my round ligaments and no amount of support could help me. I still use it while teaching ballet classes at 33 weeks and it helps immensely.Really good for all the sciatic pain I had, too.

Yes! I have three kids and wished I had found this years ago. Watch the video on it too! You can put baby on their belly or back. I thought it was safe and much better than the plastic ones I already used before

I used this pillow to support my large pregnant belly. It was a great wedge for the evenings and small enough I could move it to either side needed. I did not use this pillow for hip pain.

It has a large, deep seat that is one piece-- the whole seat reclines, not just the back. For a newborn you would need some kind of insert like a snuzzler to make it more comfortable and offer body support.

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.

I just bought this and installed it yesterday for my 1 year old. It came with an "infant insert" that is basically an extra support pillow that goes under the baby's butt. It's that black pad on the seat in the picture. The manual says it is to be used for infants from 5 to 22 pounds. There was no other insert to support a newborn's head, though. If I were using this with a newborn I would look into adding one, though I worry about suffocation risk with some of those after-market inserts.

The ball is designed for lower back stretches. Inside the packaging will be picture and written exercises that you can do. I have found the exercises very effective at easing lower back discomfort and pain. I saw this on Dr. Oz last year.

In my experience, it has the opposite effect. I used this with my baby when we introduced cow milk. We found the cow milk to be constipating, but when we added a little of this to her milk it help prevent her from getting backed up.
