Hand and finger pain, often referred to as 'mommy's wrist' (De Quervain's tenosynovitis), is common due to the repetitive strain of lifting and caring for a baby. Symptoms can include stiffness, burning, or pain that radiates into the fingers. Management strategies include wearing a thumb spica splint, icing the area, wrist stretches in warm water with Epsom salt, and adjusting how you lift your baby by using your whole palm rather than just your fingers. If the pain is severe, a physiotherapist can provide targeted exercises to speed up recovery.
