My baby is 45. I strained my fused back. This helps me maintain correct posture. Cheap control garments roll down. Spanx make me feel a downward pulling in.my back. This has vertical reinforcement. I just went back to Amazon.com to order a spare one. I am sitting down as I type this, and it is not causing me any discomfort and is not rolling. Worth every penny.

I just got this a couple weeks ago and I am 19 mo post delivery . I have not been wearing everyday but I can see a slight difference already . I am long waisted and it doesn't stretch vertically so it tugs a little I the crotch area. Running around after twins makes it not that comfortable to wear shape wear in general . This is my favorite shape wear I own though.

Don't bother with this girdle, it's very uncomfortable to wear and will show under your clothes. The best thing after delivery is to wear a medical grade abdominal binder. Ask for one at the hospital if they don't automatically provide you with it, or buy it yourself from a medical supply store like better braces. Trust me, after wearing the binder for only a month, my stomach flattened to where I could fit in pre-pregnancy skinny jeans. Now 3 months later my figure is great, the compression from the binder helped. I don't believe this girdle could ever help produce similar results.

I do not own this product (thinking about buying) but I was given a video on paced bottle feeding which suggests you hold the bottle level with their mouth and pause after 20-30 seconds of feeding, then resume. It slows them down and prevents the drink or drown mindset of positioning baby lying down. But might give them more air. There's a video on YouTube.

I feel like you will have a problem with height before weight. My son used it until right before a year. Then he was too tall and it wouldn't go any higher.

Hi Megan, we are using this system and it works great! We ate first time parents too. The bottle is very light weight and i am sure the baby could hold it easily. The shape is different than a regular bottle.

Our baby came out of the NICU and they used it there. We bought it for when she came home at 4 lbs. She's now about 10 lbs and we still use the insert.

I would suggest buying another type of maternity belt. This one is for the typical pregnant belly. I have a similar problem with already having a larger belly to begin with and this did nothing but pinch, bunch, and roll. It offered very little support that I needed. I would suggest the MaternaBelt - Stretch (Maternity Support Belt). The sling in the front is much larger and may offer more support for your growing belly. I would also wait to get this until your at least 6 months along.

I agree that after 20 lbs. the baby feels heavier in the sleepy wrap. that is about when we stopped using it with my daughter. I'd recommend a soft structured carrier like the Boba (also made by NAP inc., the makers of sleepy wrap) or Ergo if you want something simpler, though less versatile, and a woven or hybrid wrap if you like a challenge. :) I do feel like the soft structured carriers put the weight onto your hips well, with a padded hip belt, which i love. I got my boba today, and the first time I tried it, I felt it was a bit more comfortable than the ergo. good luck!

I think it depends in how big he is. My some was about 3.5 months but already about 15 lbs so he fit perfectly. He is now 5 months and still uses it but I don't think it's as helpful as a bumbo when you want to help them learn to sit up and it's more difficult getting them out than if you had a bumbo.

I apologize for taking this long to answer your question. My phone been disconnected so I was not able to check my email. I gave birth a long time ago,so I'm just trying to get the tummy somewhat back in shape. The truth is I have not really try it at work as yet. They are pretty tight which if good. I want yo use them when I workout. Hoping to see some results. Have you bought yours?

Hi, my son only used this for maybe 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how long you plan on using it for, but please keep in mind that it didn't feel very sturdy. With my son now at 8 weeks, I know for sure that he would be too big. I ended up giving it away when my two year tipped it over..thank goodness I was able to catch it.

Congrats on the Weight loss! ...but nope. It did not work for me. I've had my post-baby stretch marks (& little extra belly fat, which doesn't go away by exercise either-tried that too) for 24 years. The funny thing is-you know while using some products you can see a little difference? Well, I saw nothing, nada, zilch...my stomach looks the exact same as the day I started.

Jennifer! I use after postpartum girdle and feel that it has helped me regain some form. Follow a diet too! but at least I have waist again.

I have used it since since my daughter was born and she is 16 month right now and my husband still uses it sometimes when he goes out with her. On the manual it says you can use it up to 25pounds she is almost 30 pounds still uses it. It really depends on baby weight while she is growing. And to make your money worth you can use up to when you feel it can hold her any longer. plus after she is done you can pass it down to another baby.

My son is 14 months old and I'm still using it. I figure the way he's growing, I'll probably can use it 3 or 4 more months. My son is 24 pounds and 2 feet 5. He's big ;)

I have the City Jogger "Elite" and I got the infant car seat adapter bar. It never "clicked" for me on the adapter so I never felt too comfortable using it so I only used it once or twice with the strap that was on the adapter. With that said, I read and looked at YouTube videos and it seemed to work for them, but not for me. However, I loved the car seat especially with the snap and go stroller. I felt it was more convenient to use the strap and go stroller anyway.However, I come from a tall family and my little one is tall so in some ways I wish I would have gotten a car seat that went up to 35 inches because my girl grew out of it by 8 months. So many opinions and things to think about but it will all come together! Good luck!
