Are you suffering from aching shoulders and general body aches postbaby?
Your back, your neck, your arms, pretty much everything aches post baby.
Here are some tips to minimize those postpartum aches:
Sit up straight. When feeding your baby, don't be a slouch (as tempting as that might be, given your state of exhaustion). Your back will thank you if it's well supported (using pillows, armrests, or whatever else lets you sit pretty — and straight).
Lift smart. Instead of bending at the waist to lift that heavy nappy bag, bend at the knees. And keep your wrists straight when picking up your baby.
Sleep firm. Sure, you'll be lucky to sleep at all. But when you do manage to sneak in a few z's, make sure your back doesn't pay the price the next day. Your mattress should be firm (if it's not, then put a board underneath) and not sagging in the middle — otherwise, you may be too.
Watch your posture. Now that you're a mum, heed your own mother's advice and stand up straight (soon you'll be telling your own child that!). Slouched shoulders result in an aching back. And letting your baby rest too much on your hip (when your baby gets bigger) will only lead to pain there too — so don't even start that habit!
Put the baby down! Instead of always holding your baby, wear him or her in a baby carrier or a sling. Not only will it be soothing to baby, it'll be soothing (and liberating) to your achy arms.
Pull a switch. Many mums play favorites with their arms, always carrying their baby in one arm or the other. Instead, alternate arms so they each get a workout (and your body doesn't get a lopsided ache).
