When is it 'OK' to pick up our children PO??

PO mummies… where you told when its OK to pick up and carry your children? I am currently 12 days PO. My youngest is 16 months old and I have had to look after the kids on my own since day 5 so obviously have had to pick her up a few times but fortunately she is very light for her age and I’ve just been being extra careful. Was wondering when it’d be ok to keep her held up on my hip as don’t want to overdo it too soon.

Thanks 🙂

I need to know this too it’s one thing I’m dreading is not being able to pick my baby up 🙁 xx

How old is he/she?? If no1 responds on here I will ask at my appt on thursday and let you know x

I don’t pick my lil one up, only to put him in and out his cot, I’m being really soft at the min just don’t wana over do it and ruin what I paid a lot of money for xx

Yeah I’m the same Jamie.. that’s the only time I’ve picked her up or if she falls and hurts herself which has happened a few times. Do you know when you can do it though? x

I think it’s around 6 weeks I Went to my 2 week check last week and I was told not to pick him up still and my next app is august 12th so I’m assuming I have to wait for the go ahead then Hun xx

Wow! Thats ages away! Our poor babies 🙁 lol. How old is your little’un Jamie? x

I haven’t picked my 20 month old up yet, he keeps coming asking to be up so I just cuddle him on the floor, feel so awful, but he weighs a ton! X

I know it’s tight but I just go to his level and cuddle him or he will put his head on my lap so he’s been really good. He’s a 22month old mummy’s boy too so he’s coping really well xx

They just say that to play it safe Hun. My partner went back to work after 10 days & i had no choice but to pick her up. She’s only little & if she wanted a cuddle i couldn’t of begrudged her 1!! I’m now 7 weeks PO seen the surgeon today & hes over the moon with how iv healed & how little scarring i have. I think u wil know if u overdo it hun. There is no way i would of waited until 6 weeks to hold her!! She’s 16 months aswel xx

I have a 7 month old girl. Really worried about not being able to take care of her once my other half goes back to work.
