Baby Wearing and How it Affects the Vag
Season 2 Episode 18
Women’s health expert Dr. Marcy Crouch has the “pelvic floor” once again in this episode as she and motherhood and mental health expert Alyson Hempsey talk about everything you need to know about protecting your pelvic floor while baby wearing. Alyson shares about the mental pressure she felt to baby wear her daughter, and why it’s okay if baby wearing isn’t for you (remember, Mama, you have to protect your mental health, too). Dr. Marcy discusses how to properly baby wear, and shares which baby carriers she recommends the most from a pelvic floor therapist’s perspective.
Looking for a baby carrier? We’ve partnered with CO Family Gear to give you $20 off the CO Carrier. The CO Carrier was created by mom of 2 and healthcare worker Kathryn Farrell after she became frustrated with the bulk and complicated setup of other buckle carriers. It was designed for active families to be lightweight and breathable, and easy to bring on the go. It was also created to be hip healthy for your baby and spine-healthy for you! The patent pending design fits from the newborn stage well into toddlerhood, carrying 7-35 lbs with just a simple swap of a body piece. No complicated adjustments or infant insert necessary.
