TIPS TO PREVENT BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA FOR MOTHERS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN

The one thing mothers of babies and toddlers do more than just about anyone else is bend - to lift baby into the car or put them on their hip, or to tidy up toys or just picking up baby for a cuddle.
Bending can create a greater stress on the spine than almost any other movement - so it's important to do it right. Squat down rather than bend to pick things off the floor - including your child. Use the muscles in your legs and arms to lift - they're stronger than those in the back.
Other tips to reduce strain when bending:
Kneel down by the bath when bathing children.
Always lower the side of the cot when attending to a child.
Make sure the baby's changing mat is on a surface that is at the right height to prevent overstretching the back muscles. It's only natural to act quickly in response to a crying or bored child. But moving rapidly to prevent tears can mean creating hazardous demands on your back - such as those resulting from twisting, overstretching, or lifting loads badly - which will slow you down in the long run.
