Sling Stories: Babywearing helps mama recover from birth trauma

One of the things I love about my job is the wide range of stories I hear from our readers and customers.  In this Sling Story, one mama tells us how finding wraps helped her and her baby bond after medical problems separated them at her baby’s birth:

I had a very rough labour, I was induced for 3 days and then I had an emergency c-section.  So bonding time with my beautiful daughter was delayed.  Then I was readmitted to the ICU forPPCM (pregnancy induced heart failure).  Even after baby & I were both at home and healthy and DH was back to work, I had a very hard time getting the baby up and down the stiread.  I tried our Beco Butterfly, but it rubbed where my c-section was.  That’s when I found a love of wrapping my baby.  It really saved us and finally I found the bonding I had so been yearning for!  My daughter Story is now 6 months and we have moved past our stretchy wrap and onto woven, but you can say we are attached at the hip.  Or the front or back!
