Sling carrying is an incredible way to bond with your baby and keep your hands free - but like everything postnatally, there’s a smart way to approach it 🤱
Your pelvic floor is recovering from pregnancy, birth, and now supporting extra weight in a completely different position. That doesn’t mean you can’t use a sling - it just means we need to be strategic about it.
The biggest mistake I see? Going from zero to wearing baby for hours on end without building capacity first. Your core and pelvic floor need time to adapt to this new load.
If you’re experiencing any of the warning signs, it doesn’t mean sling carrying isn’t for you - it usually just means you need some targeted rehab to build strength and support first.
That’s exactly what I help with in my practice.
