Back pain is common in new moms, who are frequently carrying a heavy baby. Feeding time, in particular, can lead to a back ache.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons advises:

• Avoid bending over baby while you nurse.
• Place a pillow or two on your lap to bring baby up to your level.
• Instead of a soft couch, opt for an upright chair.
• When taking baby out or putting baby in a high chair, remove the tray first.
