Is anyone else poleing while nursing? My shoulders, back and hips get sore whereas they didn't before. Also since I am so sore the day or two after, I don't know wether to take it easy or work out. It just started getting sore(wasn't til this month) so not sure if the weight of carrying around my 20lb 5 mo old everywhere had anything to do with it.

I'm also breastfeeding my 5 month old :) I can't really help with regards to poling as I'm brand new to it (I only started 2 months ago), but I do suffer aches in my shoulders from hunching over while nursing and definitely feel it more after I've been dancing.
Yayyyyyyyyyyy, another mommy poler🥂 Welcome! I just lost that last in off of my tummy from poling...it's been 7 yrs for me now(poling). I have been getting extra achey. Sometimes my spine even aches(lower)... Congrats on your new baby too!
Aww thank you! And congrats to you too, your profile pic is stunning.
Thank u! I didn't know if my baby would stay put for the photo shoot! It was 10 days before I had her :)
Well you look lovely, I can tell you now I didn't have a nice neat little bump like yours! I have lots of work to do getting back into shape. I can't say b/fing has had a huge impact on working out for me, except that maybe I can't go QUITE as high impact as I'd like because I don't have the energy!
It will come to you I promise! It just takes time:) The energy thing is crazy-I think Clif bars give me a "jolt". I try to have a juice every morning and I try to eat well. I just hope its enough.

The relaxin hormone sticks around for us nursing mums longer than those who are not nursing, which has affected me a little. Just a thought, do you use a sling for bub? I carry my babies in a wrap sling (the Hug-a-Bub type, super easy to make yourself!) and it spreads the weight of baby over both shoulders (can use for front carry - facing in our out, hip carry, back carry) and I find that helps a lot with the aches from carrying a bub. Can nurse in it too :-)
