I have also had moms report of headaches when breastfeeding. I have found
that the majority of them are related to poor body mechanics. They are not
used to the position of holding a baby so much of the time and the trigger
points across the top of the shoulders are tight!! I have had many moms
report relief with massage, heat and using a nursing pillow that velcros
around them with back support.
