What causes back pain?

Back pain after using a waist stool for a long time is usually caused by using the waist stool for a long time or the fetus is too heavy to squeeze and compress the lumbar nerves, resulting in poor local blood circulation. The waist stool can only be used as a tool to hold the baby for a short time, and cannot be used for a long time to avoid damage to the lumbar spine. You can apply hot compresses to the waist to relieve waist pain. Do more exercises to strengthen the waist and back muscles, such as Xiaoyanfei, 5-point support, etc., and eat more foods rich in protein and calcium to enhance nutrition. It is normal to feel back pain after sitting for a long time, because the pressure on the lumbar spine under the seat is still very large, so this is a relatively normal physiological phenomenon. It is recommended that you don’t worry too much. You just need to change your bad sitting posture and avoid staying in the seat for a long time. At the same time, you can actively engage in some outdoor activities and physical exercises to strengthen the function of the lumbar muscles, which can effectively relieve your back pain.

If mothers use the waist stool improperly, it will cause back pain and have a great impact on the health of the waist. Generally, parents use waist stools to hold their children when traveling. It is best not to use them for more than 2 hours each time, and do not use them continuously. If the baby uses the waist stool for too long, parents will be very tired. In addition, the child is getting heavier and heavier. Holding the baby on the waist stool for a long time will cause the mother's lumbar disc to protrude. Many mothers are affected by the lumbar spine after using the waist stool. In fact, it has a lot to do with the incorrect posture of the user. Some parents use the waist stool with a loose belt and do not use the double shoulder straps that match the waist stool. In addition, in order to keep the body balanced, some parents will involuntarily move the center of gravity backward, causing the back muscles to be too tight, which in turn affects the health of the cervical spine. If parents often feel back pain after using the waist stool, they should consider whether they are using it incorrectly. The correct way to use the waist stool is to fix the belt above the hips first. It should not be too loose or too tight, and it should not be fixed on one side of the body for a long time. It is best to change the direction after a period of time.

How to use the waist stool correctly

First, hold each side of the belt tightly with both hands and wrap it from the back to the waist. If you are not familiar with it for the first time, it is best to wrap it from the back to the waist. This way you can see your movements clearly. Then take a deep breath, tighten your abdomen, and try to tighten the belt. If you wear the waist stool with a relaxed stomach, the baby will easily rest on the pelvis when sitting down, causing discomfort. Therefore, you must try to keep the belt tight while tightening your abdomen. Then buckle the safety lock and tighten the remaining belt. At this time, you will feel support on the waist. Even if the Velcro is attached, you must buckle the safety buckle, otherwise the waist stool may automatically unfasten due to the weight of the baby. Inhale and adjust the waist stool to its original position. Move the waist stool at the back to the front. If the back does not need to be moved. Adjust the height of the waist and sit the baby on the waist stool. Hold the baby's back with one hand and put on one shoulder strap. Put on the other shoulder strap in the same way and insert the buckle at the back of the shoulder strap. Adjust the baby's position and then adjust the length of the shoulder strap.

How many months can you sit on a waist stool?

Normally, babies can sit at 6 months old, so it is best for babies to use waist stools at 6 months old, but it mainly depends on the specific situation of the baby. If the baby can sit steadily, you can try to sit on the waist stool, and the sitting time should not be too long at the beginning. Let the baby sit for 10-30 minutes, and gradually extend the sitting time. It is not recommended to exceed 1 hour. Because if the baby sits on the waist stool for too long, the baby will maintain a fixed position, causing fatigue, and pay attention to protecting the baby's spine when sitting on the waist stool. If the baby sits on the waist stool for a long time, the baby's fixed posture is too long, which is easy to cause discomfort to the baby and affect the normal development of the baby's limbs.
