Back pain

@tommi Upper back pain just right between my shoulder blades. When I stand up straight it’s like I get the spasm. Idk if it radiates that’s why I feel it through my chest. Yes, sometimes I do put him on pillow .
I’d say pay really close attention to where your shoulders are while you’re feeding him! I’ve heard people say bring him to your boob don’t bring your boobs to him lol It’s not always possible to do but good to be mindful of. I like to make sure I’m propping myself up with pillows too so I don’t ever feel strain in my back.
Also doing gentle stretches throughout the day to help those muscles relax more. You’re probably using muscles you’ve never really used so much. Stretching throughout the day and finding time to lay flat on your back and stretch your muscles that way too!
@tommi Okay I will try this thank you . You don’t think having too much in my boobs cause this ?
Upper or lower back pain? I know that our posture while we breast feed really matters. We tend to hunch over and bring ourselves to them vs bringing them up to us. Do you ever place him on a pillow or anything to bring him closer to you? I notice something while I’m feeding my daughter my shoulders will be rounded forward as I’m leaning towards her and that causes me pain especially between my shoulder blades.
