Had a mom cancel a consultation appt. today.  This is baby #2 - baby is 6 days
old. Mom claims that with last baby she got terrible migraine headaches from
bfing.  Went to lots of docs and ended up at a pain control center.  She says
the doc there is very pro bfing but after testing found her to have low
estrogen.  She tells me that the doc said that is from bfing, so migraines are
coming from bfing.  She quit with baby #1 after 7 weeks.  This new baby has
chewed up her nipples as did the first baby and our appointment was to work on
correct latch-on and positioning so nipples would heal and she could bf.  Now
the headaches have come and she is pumping which she is willing to try for a
while.  She will be seeing her pain doc again next week.  Has anyone got any
knowledge or info on migraines - estrogen - bfing?
