I was wondering if any other morhers here have dealt with extreme back pain after having a baby. I was fine at first but as of the last few weeks I wake up with such bad back pain it's hard to get out of bed. I'm pretty sure it's from picking up and putting down my baby but there'snothing I can do to change that. I don't want to be stuck with this pain forever either. Have any of you had that as well?

I experienced that with my first. Are you supporting yourself while feeding her? I just got over a bad shoulder/neck pain because I was slouching over & wasnt propping my arms up enough while feeding him. I could barley move that the pain was shooting down my back. I used Voltaren on the sore spots & took extra strength Tylenol to help with the pain. It was better within 5 days!

yes. @ev14 is correct .. ensure you are supporting yourself more when feeding. Walking around and stretching helped me relieve some pain .. and now I am starting light yoga at home while she naps to help. Picking up and putting down a lil one does take a toll on your back.

@ev14 She's formula fed but I still find myself slouching quite a bit. I'm going to try elevating my arms so I can sit straighter thank you! :) @tlistboom I will for sure try the yoga! I try to stretch too but maybe I'm just not doing it enough for it to work. thank you! :)

try to use pillows to help support your arms when feeding .. and sit back in the chair or couch.
yoga killed me at first but it showed me where my sore spots were and what needed to be done to feel better.
good luck hun!
