One of the mothers I am counseling in the NICU is 4 weeks post-partum and
experiencing dizziness at the beginning of double pumping for her now 33
week old preemie.  She says it disappears in a minute or two.  She does not
have this feeling when the baby actually latches on and breastfeeds.  I have
heard  of mothers c/o nausea or  headaches but not this reaction.

After searching the archives, I found one post describing this reaction to
electric pumping.  Has anyone else heard of this before?  Is it a result of
oxytocin release?
