Your shoulders will melt like butter…

The Bed Buddy And Why You Need This!

Just about every single client of mine carries most of her stress in her shoulders. During pregnancy because of posture and from carrying around those big ol pregnancy boobs. Yikes! Murder on the shoulders and upper back! Then when baby arrives how many times a day do you find yourself in some compromising position in trying to breastfeed, even bottle feeding, sitting there in a medial rotation of your shoulders, feeding and staring at the baby. This is where the bed buddy comes in, before every feeding throw the bed buddy in the microwave for two minutes, throw it across your upper back and sit back and let your shoulders relax from the moist heat, I swear they will melt like butter. Not only will the heat relax you, but it also brings up a good blood circulation to the area that you can never seem to relax… This is a great way to nurture yourself while nurturing your baby.  And one more thing, when you are done feeding either put the baby down or pass her/him off to the next person passing by and get on your ball to do the reverse back bend, it will just take a minute or two. There you go, in taking care of others needs  you also did two good things for yourself, you relaxed your shoulders with your new best friend the bed buddy and gave yourself a good back stretch on your ball… now you are good to go!

I love my bed buddy, I’ve had mine for years, can’t live without it,  wish I would of thought up the idea…rice in a sock for goodness sake!
