When clients don’t prioritise their own posture and body mechanics, I often joke that they’ll go and get a massage and be asked “Are you breastfeeding?” out of the blue. Breastfeeding mums spend a lot of time doing so, and poor support and positioning for YOU adds up.
⚠️Headaches
⚠️Shoulder tension
⚠️Back pain
If you need to sit up to start a feed, no sweat. Once baby is latched, comfortable and sucking well, keep a firm hold and lean back. Pop some pillows under your arms, feet up.
Drop your jaw.
Drop your shoulders.
Breathe in and a long breath out. 🧘♀️
