nausea while breastfeeding

[daisymum]

Hello my dd is nearly 3 months old and breastfed. Recently I have been experiencing waves of nausea as I feed her! I'm hoping it's just a coincidence ....... has anyone else experienced this?

are you eating and drinking enough?

Previous thread here
Hope it can help you

i was on that previous thread - i do think its odd. no one has ever mentioned it to me but it was significant and always at the start of the feed. is it the same for you?

thanks for the previous thread, it helps to know it's not uncommon. i'll try eating something before feeding and see if that helps. diet will start some other time i guess!

I used o get a wave of what felt like anxiety/ beginning of a panic attack quite a lot when dd was small. Realised after a while that it always happened a minute or so before a let down. Was quite useful at times if I had forgotten to put a pad in my bra!!!! Once I stopped getting those leak causing surges it stopped so I presume that it was a hormone surge or something. Dd now 1 and bfing first thing and bed time. I still feel a let down most feeds but haven't had that butterfly feeling for months! Hope you feel better soon and it isn't spoiling your bf experience!

If I'm eating when I start a feed I get a horrible full feeling in my stomach that I can't eat anymore so I have to wait until it passes and then continue. I've had it on my other kids too.

With ds2 (my third) I got the nausea/panicky feeling that jinglebellgianbun describes, and that feeling that Apmum describes. I don't remember having it with the other two

i haven't read all the answers to this question, but just for added reasurance i too felt nausea every time i fed ds when he was little. Still do sometimes, have no idea why. He was a year old yesterday.
