Need advice from Nannies

[Anonymous]

I am a SAHM who just pulled out her lower back for the third time in a year lifting my 30 pound toddler. I have a bum knee so I can't really lift from my legs.

How do you guys strengthen your backs? Will regular sit-ups/crunches help?


Thanks so much - I am will to do anything for this not to happen again.

Go to a gym instead of the internet. Would probably solve most of your problems. Good luck!

STFU, PP.


To OP: Pilates exercise protect my back. I had one too many lower back injuries when I started being a nanny so I got a Pilates Core DVD and did it every other day. I am also an older nanny with two growing charges and have not had a back pull since starting and continuing Pilates core.

Yawn. This is the same Pilates troll we have had forever on here, always trying to sell Pilates DVDs. Please stop trying to make Pilates a thing again, I died out for a reason.

Op, just try yoga.

Actually no - I am the PP and I have never written about Pilates before. There are free YouTube pilates core exercises available.

Got do your yoga, PP, and try to relax and not take everything so personally. I have friends who do yoga and swear by it. It is not a Yoga vs Pilates war.

Have you tried Physical Therapy. My PT really helped me strengthen my back after an injury.

Toddlers should walk.

Obviously, but few can levitate. You still have to pick up a toddler to get them into some models of strollers, out of cribs, into high chairs, etc.
