Night sweats... ugh!

I'm 4.5 weeks postpartum and suffering from the most terrible night sweats. We're not talking a bit sweaty, we're talking absolutely drenched - myself, my pyjamas and the bedding.

I genuinely thought they would be gone by now but sadly not. Has anyone else experienced night sweats after birth? And how long before they went? I guess I'm just looking for someone to say they will disappear and this won't last forever, ha ha.

Yeah I've had them after all 3 of mine. My youngest is 10 weeks so it's fresh in my mind, she came home from hospital at 4 weeks old, night sweats properly kicked in then, and probably stopped after 3 weeks, so around 7 weeks.

My baby is 3 months old and I still wake up (many times🙄) at night soaked in sweat! Are you breastfeeding? I'm hoping I can blame my boobs and I'll eventually be normal when I stop breastfeeding!
