Neck pain

[mermaid]

Does anybody else suffer from aching neck and shoulders with b/feeding? I try to support baby with a pillow but the tension is building up and really stresses me! Any tips would be great ladies!

Yes I got that too until I bought a breastfeeding pillow.

Try and make sure you back is straight and your head is up , I know its hard but this will releve it.

I think just looking down at baby all the time too doesn't help much. I definitely need a pillow quick!
