Lol what's an iron?

Seriously, I don't get time to iron but luckily my OH doesn't wear shirts for work and I tend to hang everything as soon as it comes out the wash. I was like this before baby though! I'll avoid ironing as much as I can as I'm lazy

For you though (as you seem dedicated ) just do it when you feel you can do it comfortably and as long as your iron isn't heavy. Probably best not to stand for too long either. You know your body better than anyone. I know I would have been in no fit state for weeks as I was just too exhausted!

LOL why iron when you have a newborn?

There are better things to do than worry about ironing.

If you really want to iron (loony!) just do what feels ok for you, a long time on your feet or repeatedly bending wont be good for you so take it easy and dont put the laudry bin on the floor lift it up or lower the board and iron sitting down.

Iron? Ever since I had Niah my husband has taken over that duty and with a nb joining us in less tegan 2 weeks I can see that changing any time soon, although tbh that wasn't one of the things I was warned against last time, so I guess if you are desperate give it a go xx

No more ironing for me! I haven't ironed since I had my first baby 8 years ago!
