I did occasionally. It was also because I had horrible posture while I nursed though.... maybe try & really make sure you're sitting correctly, having a boppy/other breastfeeding pillow hold bebe up to you, & bring baby to breast instead of breast to baby.

As P got bigger where she could sit on my lap more & reach the breast herself I stopped having issues altogether.

And maybe try another chiropractor? You still have all that relaxin in your system from pregnancy so while it's going back down it's always beneficial to get adjusted so you know everything is going back right.

I have neck and upper back soreness from breast feeding sometimes, but thankfully it hasn't gotten to te poor of spasms-- I've had that before and I know its truly awful! Do you use a nursing pillow? I notice my back hurts worse if I nurse in bed vs our glider which is a lot more supportive. And I balance the Brest friend a little on the arms of the glider so its a bit higher than my lap. You could even lay a pillow under or on top of the nursing pillow to get the baby to the right height. I also try to rest my head back on the chair once she's latched instead of looking at her the whole time (or, ahem, looking at my phone).

I am no expert by any means but since I've had a bad back in the past and know breast feeding and baby tending in general can wreak havoc, I'm trying to position myself in a way that feels as comfortable as possible.

@swedishfish: Did your back pain ever get better? I don't get spasms, but I have a constant dull ache in my upper back. I know my posture is terrible, but he latches better when I'm leaning over him.
