Mama, let’s talk about protecting your body while caring for your little one!🤩
Between feedings, diaper changes, and endless snuggles, your body is working overtime. Here are some simple ways to support yourself through it all:
Stack it up: Rib cage over pelvis, soft knees, long back of neck. This simple posture fix can help reduce strain on your neck and low back while holding or feeding baby.
Bring baby to you: Use pillows to support your arms and bring baby up to breast height. Keep your wrists neutral, shoulders relaxed, and back supported. And don’t forget to switch sides!
Breathe through it: Exhale gently during lifts and carries to naturally engage your core and pelvic floor without straining.
Lift smart: Keep baby close to your body, avoid twisting while holding them, and use a supportive carrier for longer holds.
Listen to your body: Persistent doming, heaviness, or leaking?
These are signs it’s time to reach out for support. A pelvic floor therapist can give you personalized guidance to protect your healing postpartum body.
Your body just did something incredible. Let’s take care of it so it can continue to take care of your family 🤍
