The suggestion is to start wearing right after birth, but I need to ask, how difficult is this when you are also wearing maternity pads?

I did not begin wearing until approx 2.5 weeks after as it didn't fit due to water retention, however pads did not impact the comfort.

I didn't wear it right after birth, but I would imagine it would be difficult. I felt the crotch snaps were very uncomfortable just over underwear. I can only imagine they would be extra bulky and awkward over those giant pads! Good luck.

Hi there congrats on new baby!!! My baby was born a month earlier and her we has to work on her weight due to her early birth but I put her in the cangaroo bag when she was a month and a half . I had a cheaper one but it didn't offered a solid back support but this one is perfect. I am not going to lie I have tries several and they are all kinda complicated to put on and then of but I like this one. Hope I could help :)

The first size I'd get would be a size above wha. I wore pre-pregnancy. This depends on how much you gained I guess too. It took a few weeks before I was back in my regular clothes (close to it)...and then I needed the smaller size. Guess overall it depends on how much you gained in comparison to what you normally wear.

I never bought a changing pad for it... I think it is a very comfortable plastic type... I just put some toel paper under diaper area while changing him. Hope it can help!

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.

I was a medium before I got pregnant but gained 30lbs during the pregnancy. .I got a large for right after birth but quickly moved down to a medium within a week or 2..it depends on how much tightness u can stand..I would go med or small

My baby is 17 months and we can still make it work. Like the other mamas, I just loosen the straps so baby can move back a bit. Totally doable and with the hood, stays pretty discreet. You can always add a blanket or cape thingy if you're concerned about anyone seeing, though I don't personally think there's anything to hide about nourishing baby!

I would suggest looking at the tummy clincher I think it's called. This is perfect if you just had a baby to shrink down your uterus down quicker. It is amazing I had twins and by day 3 you couldn't even tell I gave birth. Now it doesn't fit now and I am 4 months post it basically keeps every thing together I wouldn't say it shapes.

I personally only wear mine on the non-nursing side when my daughter is feeding but it really isn't very bulky so I think you could wear it in your bra. Sometimes I forget to take it out so I bend over and milk has gone all over the place.... just to warn you! Haha.

Yes, These diapers are designed to start from the beginning and grow with baby through potty training. However, I did not start them from newborn. So I can not say personally how well they fit

I think you can wear baby on your hip and on your back, but because of the criss cross design it would be uncomfortable for a woman to wear baby on your back.

I def recommend the large or x large so u can use it for the entire pregnancy. U can always make it smaller if needed!

Liz I'm registered for Summer Infant countered changing pad but I don't have it yet so I can't tell you if it will be a true match but I registered for it because I read in other comments that it was a good match .I can update you like in a month :)

The material is thick and not very breathable. I would not recomend on hot climates, as baby is close to skin and your own body temp might make it too hot.

The material is a little itchy but it doesn't bug me at all and they have a soft fabric everywhere the baby is. As long as your baby is in more than a diaper it won't be an issue at all. The only place I would be concerned about it is their belly and back. My son wears tank tops in it and that is just fine it's also fine without pants�

On any binder, always go by your post-pregnancy measurements! Some women might be fortunate enough to be back in the pre-pregnancy range immediately after delivery, but then why would you even need one of these binders if that were the case???? Most women (those really needing these type of binders) will be larger after delivery than they were before they got pregnant. Two important things to keep in mind when purchasing one of these: 1. the binder will allow a fit "up to" the measurements indicated above, and 2. the velcro strip will allow it to stretch "down" 8 additional inches!!

I find that it's relatively easy. I have the ErgoBaby Sport, but it goes on the same way. I think it's super easy to put on with baby in the front, a bit more tricky on the hip (though I have that down cold), and a bit more difficult on the back. I had my husband help me a few times so that I could adjust everything correctly. I have longer arms, so I can reach back and clip the back support fairly easily. I think if you go into major retailers, they'll have a sample you can try out - it took me 2-3 times, but I whip that thing on and off like nothing now. :) Hope this helps!
