Hello
I'm mix feeding my 5 week old, expressing 3-4 times a day. I have been feeling quite poorly after each expressing session, bad headaches that never seem to go away and also nauseous and dizzy. It reminds me a bit of how I felt in early pregnancy (which I'm sure isn't the case now!). I'm not sure whether this is caused by the expressing or just general tiredness but it does feel like it comes on after I express. I am trying to eat well and drink more water in case it's caused by dehydration. Also wondering if it could be an iron deficiency and was thnking of trying Spatone - is it ok to take this while giving DS breast milk?I have my 6 week check next week and will mention it to my GP. I just wondered if any one else had experienced this?
