Any advice for sore neck and arms?

Question

I’m a new mum and have started getting pain in my neck, shoulders and arms. I’m pretty sure it’s from carrying and feeding my baby, so I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks in making these tasks less strenuous on my body? 
Thanks in advance.

Answer

I know it’s common for breastfeeding mamas to get this, and more. I had migraine like headaches for around a month with the second baby. I got carpal tunnel with the first one. It’s from supporting baby’s head while feeding for so long, 24:7. If you are breastfeeding, you could try side feeding.

Answer

I always get neck pain during breastfeeding initially, and I found what helps me is propping my head/neck with a pillow while feeding the baby and making sure I’m not slouching or sitting crooked while holding baby.
