Can this be used to push the stomach back in after birth or is it only for back pain relief?

No its just for back support you will need a postpartum belly band with velcro adjustments to push the stomach back in.

No. Actually to be very honest I don't know what that one is for. It's not comfortable or soothing at all. It did nothing for my very pain filled back. But several of the other attachments did work very well.

Yes! I've used it as my babies bassinet since she came home from the hospital. She will be 3 months next week. I plan on using it till she gets too big. She was a small baby so I'm not sure how well it would work if you had a large baby. I love it! Clean and simple. And chemical free!

Purchased this bedrest for post operative recovery from tummy surgery. I also had a C - section but years before....remember it very well! My experience was that the bed rest provided for great support, not just in bed but on my sofa. ( it has a tendency to sink down.). But she needs to walk a few minutes a day to foster recovery.

My 21 year old son does have mild back troubles, but this didn't seem to affect it one way or another. However, most medical professionals will tell you to strengthen your stomach muscles to help your back, so in theory, it would work....BUT....as a person who has had three back surgeries, I would think this type of exercise machine a bit too extreme for someone who has serious back troubles. If your back troubles stem from muscle strain, it may help...but if you have a bulging disk, sciatica or spinal stenosis, I would try something less strenuous.

It has a large, deep seat that is one piece-- the whole seat reclines, not just the back. For a newborn you would need some kind of insert like a snuzzler to make it more comfortable and offer body support.

It works awesome for mid and lower back pain. I use it every day when i wake up and it truly helps relieve the tension

The wedge is too narrow to use for pre-natal massages. I returned it. If the infant doesn't move around much I suppose it could be used to lay an infant on to sleep. If the infant fell to one side she/he could be on their face.

I got it for my daughter. She had a caesarian. She started wearing the waist band after and her doctor told her it was okay for her to do so. I believe it was about a month after giving birth. She loves it. She wore it about 4 to 6 hours a day for about 2 to 3 months. She got her shape back.

Hello, I don't think so, because this detects the movement of the baby's belly, as it moves when the baby breathes. But in the back it doesn't feel the same, and probably you'll get several false alarms.

I personally would not use this pad for helping back pain. This particular mattress pad I returned because it did not match what was pictured. For helping with back pain, a memory foam mattress TOPPER not a mattress pad would be the best. However, if your mattress is too old, and needs replacing, no topper is going to help. So first determine if your mattress needs replacing. Then I would look into getting the best memory foam topper I could afford. For my son, I got a tempurpedic mattress topper. It has helped quite a bit. Remember you need a topper not a mattress pad. A pad is just a covering for the mattress. It is not made to give substantial padded comfort to your back.

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 don't know... Tried it for nausea when I was pregnant and it didn't help.

I have been using this on my lower back for over a year, and it helps me a lot. When I'm experiencing severe back pain, OTC meds do nothing to help it, and I will take prescription pain meds only as a last resort ... and usually not even then. This unit doesn't get rid of severe pain altogether, but the pain lessens significantly so that I'm functional and can get back to my life. If I'm experiencing moderate back pain, this unit can ease that completely.

I only use this for my neck in general. Your lower back is really not affected by this at all. For lower back pain I use a lower lumbar stretcher, like a pillow placed in the small of your back and lay on the floor. Yoga is what really helps the lower back.

my daughter is the one using it and she falls asleep on it as her back relaxes...she has always found it helpful and when I used it (before I got badly hurt) I found it relaxed the muscles that were knotted up.....I am looking at the answers ...and the one said they were sitting on it...that is not how you use it...their use to be a video on their sight....

I used it on my belly only for 2 pregnancies and I am stretch mark free completely! I am now 11 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and am using this lotion again on my belly, as well as thighs and lower back. I'm expecting the same results as before.
