I would recommend...


A facebook friend of mine with RA sent we this book called Juggling sore joints and babies and it is so brilliant that I have copied the details from Arthritis Victoria:

Are you trying to manage caring for a baby or toddler and you have arthritis or a related condition? Arthritis Victoria now has available for free a guide to help you manage.

Juggling Sore Joints and Babies by Lisa Gibbs is available for free by contacting Arthritis Victoria's Telephone Information Service on (03) 8531 8000 (03) 8531 8000 or 1800 011 041 1800 011 041 toll-free for country callers. Or you can email us with your postal address. We are giving away one copy per person. This offer is for Victorian residents only.

This guide provides practical tips and quotes from mothers, fathers and grandparents who have cared for a child and managed a chronic condition at the same time. It also offers information from heath professionals working in the field of childcare and health.

Juggling Sore Joints and Babies features ideas on how to lift and handle your baby, how to select the products and services you will need and how to conserve your energy so that you have enough left to have fun with your baby. Some of the ideas are just plain common sense but, when you are tired, simple solutions aren't always obvious.

All of the ideas in the book apply equally to mothers, fathers, grandparents and others who are caring for a baby unless there is a specific reference to one group
