Tired, hot and a bit sick feeling while expressing/feeding

Hi folks, Does anyone else feel a sudden fatigue, really warm and a bit sick while expressing or breastfeeding? I'm sure it's all wrapped up with just being tired but it's almost like all my energy is being literally drained away 😂.

Show your support

I always get sweaty and warm and extremely tired as well and then an immediate hunger right after I’m done

I think the sickness for me is related to hunger too. Will try having a wee something before and after!

I did with my second born. From about 3 months onwards till she dropped the day time feeds. I have absolutely no advice just wanted to show support and validation that this is horrible to endure and makes it very hard to enjoy what is labelled as a beautiful experience. Good news is I had another and don’t have the same thing and fed literally back to back I think I had a week where I didn’t feed the toddler. Before having the new baby so there’s hope of your wanting more. (Unless I’m so drained now I don’t notice the difference 🤣)

Thanks folks. It's reassuring to know it's not just me and that it may pass! I'm batch cooking handy snacks tomorrow to have before and after to see if that helps at all
