Not sure on the massager but maybe a hot water bottle may help, if your concerned ring your health visitor or go for advice and explain your symptoms xxx

I think might be position while I am nursing need to work on my posture hopefully that will help. Will try hot water bottle

[Claire2225 in reply to Marim]

Try using a pillow when your nursing to help you with your posture but if your concerned speak to your health visitor or gp xx

[Marim in reply to Claire2225]

Been using it now hopefully it does help

Lie on your side and feed, very chilled and relaxing.

I prop my arm up with a pillow or my knee.

Also I sit her up and feed or lie down on my back and she lies on top.

[Marim in reply to Lizabelle1985]

Yh I have been doing that but didn’t used pillow will do it

Your ligaments may be stretchy for a while after giving birth so you may get back and other joint pains for a few months.

You may also have bad posture x

Hey darling, congrats....

As advised before you need to work (not only) positioning the babe correctly while feeding, also as you are probably very tense holding him/her is affecting your back. I had the same and what it worked for me was having regular back sport massage as well as using TENS machine.... Also get your partner to give you a little back massage 💆‍♀️
