My boy is 7 months and bottle fed and from about 4 months I’ve had numbness in my hands when I sleep and also twinges and aches during the day. I believe this is due to the repetitive strain of being a mum - holding bottles, preparing bottles, washing bottles and of course holding my baby. I went to the gp and she told me to buy splints for night time, I tried it but they are annoying to wear and I don’t sleep well with them (and sleep is precious!) so I gave up.
I wondered if anyone else has this and if it eventually went away? It’s not the end of the world, it only hurts sometimes and the numbness is mostly annoying at night, but ideally I don’t want it to last forever and I also worry I might have been misdiagnosed or that it could get worse without treatment.
thank you!
