    I was only allowed to carry 10lbs for 2 weeks so that is the biggest thing, It would depend on your child and how much they want to be carried around

    I suggest a new post to all postop moms with babies. My babies are 22 (had surgery with me) and 18 and thank goodness can be self-sufficient. I wouldn't have wanted to take care of a baby. I just had surgery 12/27 and it was at least 4-5 days before I could really do anything. Today I was on my hands and knees cleaning dog poo off the carpet, does that count? Good luck!
