When feeding your baby:
-Support your baby and your arm on a pillow. Consider using a specially designed nursing pillow (available at Newborn Connections) to position yourself comfortably while nursing.-Avoid sitting with rounded shoulders and leaning over the baby. -Keep at least one knee higher than your hips to reduce the sway in your back. Try putting one foot up on a step stool.
• Kneel next to the bathtub when bathing a toddler.
• When talking to a child, bend at the knees and get down instead of bending over.
Remember, every woman will recover at her own rate. Be gentle and patient with yourself.
