Night sweats

My baby is now 2 weeks 5 days old and on a night I'm suffering with really bad sweating. I never got it with my daughter but this time round its horrendous. Is this normal?

Yes, I had this after my little one was born. It was horrible. My doctor said it was completely normal as it's the bodies was of getting rid of the extra fluid you carry while pregnant. Sorry to say but it lasted a good six weeks for me, it did stop eventually though !

Was wondering this too, didn't know if it was post partum related or this muggy weather we are having though! Didn't have it with my first either!

I used to sleep on a towel and change my vest half way through the night.

It's awful, but will stop.

I slept on a towel to and had my top of so it would soak leaks up to. It's grim but will pass

Ahh I've been experiencing the same and this explains why, thank you!
