We fully support breastfeeding as well any feeding for that matter. We honestly don't care how your little gets fed as long as they do! Using a bottle? GREAT! Whipping out the boob? PERFECT! Pumping for later? SURE!
We want to equip you with how to keep your body feeling good through this already tough feeding journey! We oftentimes compromise our own bodies to make sure babe is latched, comfy or in the perfect position. Well, what if we told you you both can be nice and comfy together-even better.
Figuring out how to protect your back is vital!
Neck and back aches are so common when our posture and body position is compromised. Having poor positioning can cause issues with your overall biomechanics. When we put our bodies in awkward positions on repeat (hello, feeding a baby), it can lead to a multitude of dysfunctions for you down the line. We often see an increase in headaches, neck aches, numbness down one arm or hand, shoulder blade pain, low back discomfort or sciatica to name a few. With these simple positioning corrections and a little bit of self love so many of these can be avoided!
Here are a few tips and tricks we at Revelle like to equip our Mamas with:
Now let's try this with good positioning and posture for you MAMA!
