Hot boobs in middle of the night!

[Holymoly321]

I'm finding myself waking up in the middle of the night with sweat streaming down my breasts and feeling as though my ds is actually feeding on me. There have been times when Ive actually said in a sleepy daze to my DH, 'get the baby off me' and he's said he's not on you! He's in the cot! ANyone else suffered from this or have any tips to combat it? I've already tried expressing before going to bed and nothing helps it. It's not very nice waking up in a pool of sweat! tHanks

Hi smiling.

I had a similar thing when DS was weeny. I really felt like I was having symptoms of the menopause, eg hot flushes & night sweats. I used to wake up with a soaking wet duvet stuck to me. I asked my GP about it & was fobbed off. Incidently, I had PND & had read that hormonal imbalances may contribute. I thought the sweats were related to fluctuating progesterone levels & wanted the GP to put me on the mini-pill to see if that would help. He refused. My mistake was not just asking for the mini-pill for contraceptive reasons, I would have got it then.

It did eventually settle down. I think DS was about 4-6months old when it happened. How old is your DS?

He's only ten days old!

Smiling, this happened to me as well when ds was little, it did stop after a while, can't remember exactly when, but he is 6mths now, and it hasn't happened for ages. If your LO is only 10 days old then it will probably go on for a bit longer.

Sorry that wasn't very helpful was it?! Thinking about it I'm sure it had stopped by 6-8 wks. I didn't do anything to combat it, just put up with it I'm afraid..
