Can pumping for long periods cause back pain?

It is possible to experience back pain related to breastfeeding or pumping, often due to poor posture while held in a fixed position for extended periods. To help manage this, try using a heating pad or warm compress on the affected area and consider gentle massage. Always ensure your pump suction level is comfortable and your flange size is correct, as incorrect fit can cause unnecessary tension and discomfort during your pumping sessions.
