Ep 87: Maternal Stress and Posture - what's the connection?

Rebroadcast of episode 31:
As a chiropractor and doula, we spend a lot of time with expecting and newly postpartum mothers. There is a ton of information you need and want to know about preparing for nursing. In this episode, we are going to talk about nursing posture.  Nursing posture is just one component (of many) to learn more about and to bring awareness to during this time. 

In this episode we discuss:

• The importance of posture while nursing
• Our personal experiences with posture issues after giving birth and in those first couple of years after giving birth.
• Helpful tips for feeding sessions (pumping or chest/breastfeeding)
• Nursing positions
• Nursing pillows
• Stretches to help relieve and reduce tension in the chest, neck, shoulders, and back.
• Chiropractic care to relieve and reduce aches and pains and address nervous system function
