Sciatica Relief

Does anyone have any tips or anything I can do for sciatica pain? It’s on my left side starting from my butt shooting all the way down my leg. It’s so uncomfortable. I took some Tylenol but anything else I can do for relief I’ll take because when I tell y’all I wanna scream so bad 😭

Stretching was literally the only thing that helped

Laying on a hard flat surface with your legs bent and your arms above your head. I have to slowly bring up my knees because it stretches out your back and you don't want to do that too fast or you'll hurt yourself more. I hope I explained my method well, if you have any questions let me know

I went to a physiotherapist for 6 weeks because that was all that was covered by my health insurance and they gave me a bunch of stretches that I do 3 times a day until it gets better, I can try to find descriptions and post them too.

Go to a chiropractor! I went to one when I was pregnant and she helped me so much get relief from my sciatica

Morning stretches does wonders! Laying on a tennis ball in the affected area is suppose to help to

I had this in my 3rd trimester. My advice a foam roller really helped. It went. Good luck

You need to massage the crap out of your piriformis muscle. The muscle is tight and runs along your sciatic nerve. If you massage it and it hurts, it’s definitely tight. Massage it x3 a day for a week and the sciatic pain should go away. My husband bought me a polar roller to help me massage the muscle.

Absolutely nothing helped mine...chiropractor, etc....for a couple months until i got a regular ol deep tissue massage. Maybe this guy was a unicorn at this massage envy, but i was almost mad at how painful the massage was. He told me to breathe through it. The pain was gone the next day.

Do you validate your toddlers feelings all the time?

I see so many posts about validating a toddlers feelings, and curious to know if other moms agree with it or disagree. I don't agree with it because they should start learning early on their emotions should match the situation.

Swaddle Transition

Hey moms! 🤍

My name is Gabi, and I’m a first-time mom. My baby will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, and recently I’ve noticed that when he’s swaddled, he keeps escaping and wakes up with one or sometimes both arms out.

I did a little research and saw a lot of recommendations for the Love to Dream swaddle. I understand the concept, but I’m not sure I love it for my baby. I also came across a couple of other transitional swaddles on Amazon—the Omni Swaddle Sack and the 4-Way Houdini-Proof Swaddle Sack—but now I’m second-guessing what to choose.

Before swaddling, we were co-sleeping, and he actually slept really well on his belly. Even now, he seems most comfortable napping on his belly.

I’d love to hear your experiences or recommendations—what worked for your babies during this transition?

Co-sleeping

Have tried to put baby in the next to me but he is refusing. He is currently sleeping in the najell sleep carrier between me and my husband. Any advice? Co-sleeping is making me anxious!

Fussy baby

For the last few days every time I put my 5 week old down he just cries, sometimes screams. I can’t get anything done. Any tips?

Earlier bedtime

What time do you put your baby to bed?

I keep seeing that putting them to bed earlier makes them sleep longer? Has anyone tried this? What’s your experience
