What to do if you have back and leg pain during breastfeeding

Breastfeeding is the stage when a woman has her last physical contact with her baby after giving birth. Breastfeeding during this stage can help lay a good foundation for the health of newborns and promote the formation of their immune system. Women at this stage are also an important stage of body recovery and can promote body recovery through a good diet and adequate rest. However, why do women always have back pain during breastfeeding?

Why do I have back pain during breastfeeding?

1. Reminder of visceral disease: due to the visceral changes during the production period, some functions will become abnormal, which will be more obvious during breastfeeding.

2. Symptoms of spinal osteoarthritis. Since the soft tissue around the spine is relatively abundant, low back pain will occur after sprains, injuries, or traumatic bleeding.

3. Diseases and hidden dangers of the spinal nerves and spinal cord, or diseases of the spinal nerves, can all cause low back pain.

Proper feeding posture for breastfeeding

1. Sit on a table and chair with a backrest, place a small stool under the left leg. When the child sucks the left breast, the right leg should step on the chair, and vice versa.

2. The mother can hold one breast and use the nipple to touch the baby. After the baby opens his mouth, put the nipple in the child's mouth and let the child hold the entire nipple.

3. Before the baby is three months old, do not breastfeed the baby while lying down. This is easy to crush the baby, and the baby with a crooked body is prone to choking on milk.

Back pain during breastfeeding is a physical reaction left over from pregnancy and childbirth for many women. You can conduct some corresponding examinations according to the severity of the back pain, and use some massage methods to relieve and treat it in a targeted manner. At the same time, please note that breastfeeding is not long after childbirth, so don't stand too much, which is not conducive to the body's recovery after childbirth. If the back pain continues to worsen, you need to go to the hospital for treatment in time.
