Bf - need advice as feel faint

[butterflyexperience]

I'm feeling faint and very light headed almost spaced out and washed out

This is the best I can describe it

I think I eat enough to be honest I've put on 1 stone since giving birth so I know I must be eating well!

I think I drink enough

Don't know what to do, anyone else ever felt like this?

I can do with extreme tiredness. But if it continues or worsened I'd be getting it checked out by a professional.

Is it happening now? Are you alone or is someone with you?

Do you think it could be your iron levels? I'd get yourself checked out I think.

Agree with getting iron levels checked. I was three weeks post partum before I had anaemia confirmed... Stupidly.

Has it come on after cluster feeding? I felt completely drained a few times after some particularly intense evening feeds. But I've been ok the next day.

Iron? Def get it checked, and maybe thyroid as well?

Only have one night feed and I have a nap during the day so not that

Will check for iron

Not alone

Today it came on late afternoon

I have twins one is enf and the other was ff but am now trying to bf him and I think it's started since getting twin2 to bf
They are both 9 weeks
Could this be it?
Not sure about underactive thyroid. How could I tell?

I had that feeling a lot while bf and it turned out to be my thyroid, my levels seemed ok at the time but last year they plummeted and I'm now on medication. You need a blood test anyway to check iron, so they will do your thyroid at the same time if you ask. It also could be blood sugar dips- bf takes a lot of energy.
