Lower back pain is very common after delivery as your body heals. For safe pain relief, especially if you are breastfeeding, acetaminophen and ibuprofen are the most recommended and safest over-the-counter options. Always follow the package instructions for correct dosages. Additionally, applying warm compresses or ice packs, practising gentle stretching, and maintaining good posture while nursing can provide great relief. Please consult your doctor before starting any new medication, or if your pain is severe, worsening, or accompanied by numbness or fever.
