Hi Mummies,
Glad to hear that Baby Victoria is doing so well. Congrats again Ruffles!
Forest, I think after 5th day is fine, so long as u don't delay too long after delivery. (Unless c-section then no choice got to wait for the wound to recover first). Personally, I find the massage effective but then you must be patient and tahan the binding for the whole 7 days which is not easy cos it can be very hot and itchy. On the 8th day, when I removed the bind, it is like I feel like a bird regaining its freedom haaa..
Lili_fc, for my elder gal's time, I tried to had some hands-on with my CL around a week before she left. But actually, I feel it is just some guideline. Ulitmately, you will have your own methods and style. So as and when you are free, just pop in to ask your CL questions and try some hands-on as you can. Somehow, naturally you will be able to manage when it comes to you.
I was so worried I can't cope with my elder gal that I cried a few days before my CL left. In the end, haaa.. I can manage much better than expected!
