Recovering from a csection with a toddler

Brookelin

I’m scheduled to have a planned csection tmr morning due to my baby being footling breech. I am that you’re really not suppose to lift anything for 6 weeks after. My question is ... how do I do that while also taking care of a 16 month old? She still sleeps in a crib and is still at that age where she wants/needs to be carried a lot. She’s 24lbs. She’ll be gone for the first week forsure until I get my staples out but just looking for some advice from moms who’s went through this before. It’s what I’m most worried about.
