Back pain is one of the most common challenges mums face, whether you’re caring for a newborn, chasing a toddler, or balancing work and family life. The constant lifting, carrying, and bending can put enormous strain on your body, especially your back. While it’s easy to ignore discomfort in the rush of daily life, small changes can make a big difference in how you feel.
Why Back Pain Happens to Mums
During pregnancy, your body changes to accommodate your growing baby, which naturally alters your posture and weakens your core. After birth, those changes don’t disappear overnight, and new habits, like feeding positions, rocking your baby to sleep, or carrying a car seat, can add even more pressure. Over time, this can lead to persistent tension, tightness, or pain in your lower back and shoulders.
Simple Ways to Support Your Back
Check Your Posture:
Try to stand tall and engage your core gently when holding or feeding your baby. Keep your shoulders relaxed and avoid leaning too far forward.
Lift Smarter, Not Harder:
When picking up your little one, bend your knees instead of your back and bring your baby close to your body before lifting.
Move Regularly:
Gentle stretching, walking, or postnatal yoga can do wonders. Even just a few minutes a day can help strengthen your back and improve flexibility.
Set Up Comfortable Feeding Spaces:
Use pillows for support, especially when breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, to help maintain a comfortable position. Your back will thank you for it!
