IE Mamas: Postpartum girdle or belly bandit
Any of you use one of these? Any recs? Pros or cons?
I had seen a few posts on the baby boards on the belly bandit and was looking into it, but wasn't sure that I wanted to spend that money. I saw one that was half the price at BRU by Medela but thought I'd ask before I went and got one.
Re: IE Mamas: Postpartum girdle or belly bandit
I'm with Lori on this one.
I considered getting one and didn't. After you have the baby massage your belly (uterus really) as much as you can. This will help it return to it's size (the nurse told me to do this).
I have heard that your belly can become dependent on those bands and the muscles need to strenghten again on their own. I got back into my jeans pretty quick without one. I don't think they are necessary.
I didn't use/get one. ?After I had the kiddo, I was back in my pre-pregnant jeans by a month and a half. ?Not the same case after the second baby =(
But like the other girls mentioned, you're going to want comfort after having the baby. ??
Thanks ladies!
I just saw Brooke Burke on the Today show and she swears by these things. Good to hear from real women.
Brooke Burke. ?Of course.?

Never used it. ?Haven't really been working out either. ?Nursing has really helped. ?10 lbs under pre-preg weight and two sizes smaller. ?Let mother nature do her thing!
