Parents with crutches

[LeanneE]

Just wondering how you get out and about with your child when using your crutches? also how you get around the house with the baby?

I used to do home care with a mum who was losing the ability to walk (for social work reasons - there was a few issues in the house) - and she used to use a sling - i think it was a Moby but not 100% sure.

I was on crutches till baby was 8 wks old - i broke my ankle at 38 wks pregnant. Basically when my oh went back to work he'd bring baby down in the morning and he'd go to work, baby would spend the day in moses basket, bouncy chair or playmat. i would never carry him around only when i was walking again and only needed the one crutch for confidence rather than using it. Baby would stay down with me all day and when he came in of a night he used to carry him back up to bed.

If you have any other questions feel free to pm me!! It's not easy but it can be done!!!
