Back pain?

in June 2012 Moms

My back is quite stiff from lugging not so LO...He is 17 pounds. I try to stretch but its not helping much. I've been getting weekly massages and thats helped a lot. I plan to go back to yoga but my schedule does it allow for it consistently.

Anyone else dealing with aches and pain from lugging LO and what have you been doing to ease it?

    I was doing weekly visits to the chiropractor. Now it is better, but I am getting tendonitis in my wrists :(

    LO is still light - almost 13 lbs - yep, she gained a pound this week.

    I had it with DD from lugging and pumping (not sitting right while doing it).  My doc sent me to Physical Therapy and told me to start using a hands-free bra so I sit more upright,  it made a world of difference.  So far so good this time.

    I was lugging him in his car seat but stopped last week. I now use a convertible. I hold him, pick him up when he wants to be carried, use the ergo,  and just discovered that side lying nursing kills my back. I get really stiff.

    try experimenting w how you are side lying (perhaps try an arm under his head), make sure to bend at the knees and when holding w/o the carrier that you hold in the middle of your body.  Hope you get some relief soon!
