Wrist issues

I hold B in the "Football" hold with my hand supporting his head when I am BFing him.  This was fine for awhile, but lately my wrists have been killing me!  I don't know if his head had a growth spurt or what, but it is getting harder to hold him like this.  Any suggestions?

    Not sure if it's the case for you, but I got Carpal Tunnel from that hold. Apparently it's possible to get it from breastfeeding period! I stopped bf'ing three weeks ago, and my wrist still hurts. Do what you can to not bend it so much, and Motrin/aleve help!

    I held MJ in football for the first 3 weeks. And then it was like he outgrew it! It was harder on me and him. Now he does the cross cradle no problem! He hated it as a newborn. Maybe try some new positions with him an are if they're easier on your wrist.
