Bottle feeding isn’t just about the baby — it’s about you, too. In this eye-opening episode, we flip the script on the usual bottle-feeding talk to focus on your physical comfort and long-term well-being. Whether you’re exclusively bottle feeding or just doing a few feeds a day, this episode is packed with ergonomic tips and body-saving strategies that no one’s telling you — but every caregiver needs to hear.
Say goodbye to sore wrists, aching backs, and stiff necks. It’s time to make feeding more sustainable, comfortable, and supported for the person holding the bottle.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
🍼 Why caregiver comfort during bottle feeding matters (and is so often overlooked)
💪 The most common overuse injuries in bottle-feeding parents — and how to prevent them
🛋️ How to set up an ergonomic feeding routine that works with your body, not against it
📏 Pro tips like:
- Supporting your back and bringing baby to you
- Keeping your neck neutral and shoulders relaxed
- Avoiding wrist strain (hello, carpal tunnel!)
- Using pillows, switching sides, and creating a go-to feeding setup
💡 Plus: The “hair tie trick” to balance sides and help with baby’s torticollis
Hope this episode is enlightening and helps you find joy and reduce pain.
