Nursing your baby can put a massive strain on your neck, shoulders, and upper back. To ease the tension, here are a few tips:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ Recline 20 to 30 degrees if possible and always have lumbar support
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ Alternatively, walking during feeding may put less stress on your back
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ Stretch! Some keywords to look for (many stretching videos are on YouTube!): stretches for the trapezius, rhomboids, levator scapulae, chest opening, upper back, etc.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ Regular chiropractic can not only help alleviate the pain but also prevent it from happening in the first place. Moms (especially new moms) don’t have time to be in pain 😉
