Prolonged breastfeeding and it's continued implications for the body.
Dr. Allison here and I open up about a back injury I got and a little bit about what predisposed me to herniate my disc. Breastfeeding is amazing and I love it, hence why I am still doing it 2 years later. However, it's important to know and respect that your body is still not fully healed from the pregnancy and delivery and breastfeeding prolongs the normalization of hormones. There is also significant joint laxity that continues on and what we see clinically is it takes time after breastfeeding to get the innate stability back in these joints.
