Adding more weight into lifting

Hi all!!

I’m 6 weeks post op and I’ve been increasing the weight into some of the lifting I do (laundry etc.) but feel like I could be doing more…just very nervous about overdoing it😅

What are your recommendations on increasing the weight?? I also work in childcare and haven’t lifted any kids, but unsure of when I can/how consistent I should be at first. Any advice is helpful!!
