Hey Chrissyp, I didn’t lift my little girl- also 1- until 2 weeks post op, but I had uplift too. Try to avoid it for as long as possible. My daughter more or less fell out with me when I wouldn’t pick her up for the first week!! She started ignoring me and going straight to my hubby! Broke my heart, but she is back to her “cling to mummy” self now! We had lots of cuddles though xxx
