Tendonitis from holding baby?!

LimaDLimaD member
in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

anyone else?

Both of my wrists really hurt (from thumb down to wrist) from either picking up and/or holding my baby. never heard of that! Did a little research and I guess it's not all that uncommon in new moms. I have to mentally prepare myself when I go to pick up DD out of the crib. and now i notice how my wrists are bent when I'm holding her swaddled in my arms and am rocking her to calm her down or put her to sleep.

at least it's reversible!

    Yes, me too.  Try carrying your LO in diff ways and do tons of stretches, Or, wear a wrist guard.  Though it does get better in time.

    Yup! It got so bad mainly at night that I couldnt pick him up out of he crib, my DH had to.  Wrist gusrds didnt work. I ended up seing hand surgeon and getting cortizone shots in both arms.  'Ve been good as new since!

    Yes, I am wearing the carpal tunnel wrist wraps on both hands as much as I can.

    Yes, I have carpal tunnel, and on bad days I wear my wrist braces on both wrists, it helps a ton!
