Why doesn't anyone talk about the awful back pain from Breastfeeding? Am I doing it wrong? 🍼

I don't breast-feed anymore but I used to have the same problem and it was because I was leaning over the baby instead of bringing him to me

@shellbell0391, that's what I thought but when I bring her to me it seems like I suffocate her nose.

I had shoulder pain from being hunched over. Definitely do some stretches for your upper back and shoulders. Make sure your posture is good too. I think my posture has never been the same since I had kids! And always use a breastfeeding pillow.

Does your hospital that you delivered at have lactation consultants? If so you can ask them for help

They will show you positions that work best for both you and baby

Yup just gave up on using it 😑😑😑 every positions hurting. I just switched beds the other day so maybe that's why. @kitcatmeow8383,

@shellbell0391, they gave me tons of positions to choose from. Those all hurt lol and they said I was doing it fine 😑 it is possible that it's my bed I recently switched to. I just think I'm using my boopy wrong.

When I was breastfeeding my favorite painless one was laying on my side in bed and laying the baby on her side in bed and just pushing her up to the boob. Lazy but worked

@charong, okay I'll definitely keep posture and stretching in mind. When you say BF pillow do you mean something like a boppy pillow ?
