Most moms don’t develop posture problems from sitting at a desk all day. They develop them from how they move, lift, hold, and carry kids all day long.

In this episode, I break down the 3 most common mom posture habits I see that lead to neck pain, back pain, hip tightness, and that “always sore” feeling.

In this episode we talk about

1. The Mom Lean (standing on one hip)

Standing with all your weight shifted onto one side while holding kids, cooking, or multitasking.

2. The Baby Carry Back Bend (front carrying posture)

Holding a baby or toddler in front often leads to leaning back and pushing the hips forward.

3. The Feeding & Snuggle Slouch (rounded shoulders)

Feeding, bottle holding, contact naps, and scrolling while holding a baby all encourage a rounded upper body posture.

Key takeaway🤍

Posture isn’t just sitting at a desk—it’s the small positions you repeat all day as a mom.

The goal isn’t perfect posture. The goal is reducing repeated strain by changing the patterns that show up the most.
