âBut then, weâre told NOT to lift anything heavy after having a baby. The reason is that the core takes time to heal after pregnancy, and improperly overloading the core before itâs ready to be loaded is one of the most common reasons for core and pelvic floor dysfunction.
Meanwhile, mom is still lifting her growing baby every day, and navigating through life having to lift other things (hello groceries, stroller, car seat!) âDonât lift anything heavyâ becomes impractical advice, and for that reason, I much prefer teaching new moms how to actually pick up their baby properly, how to baby-wear functionally, and how to lift without aggravating their pelvic floor. These techniques are valuable for life, and can save a mother years of back pain due to compensations of the back muscles, and improper lifting.â
