As you interact with and care for your infant, it's important to pay attention to your posture. Whether you are picking up, carrying or feeding your baby, following a few basic guidelines will help you protect your back. When picking up your baby or changing her diapers, always squat from the knees. Remember to keep your body loose and supple when bending over.
Many new mothers carry their babies on their hips, often through the toddler years.
