Hello All,

The mother of a 30 week preterm baby born 8 days ago called me today 
stating that every time she pumps she becomes dizzy and lightheaded. 
Yesterday she also experienced a headache while pumping.  She only feels this 
way during and shortly after pumping and it is getting worse to the point that 
she has stopped pumping.  I have searched the archives unsucessfully but I 
know that I have read something, somewhere about these symptoms, perhaps 
while breastfeeding not necessarily pumping.  Has anyone come across this?  
Does anyone have a suggestion of where I can perhaps read about such a 
phenomenon?  My guess is that it is hormonal, but until I can do more than 
guess I'm hesistant to make any suggestions.

All words of wisdom are greatly appreciated.
