This feeling of
>exhaustion lasts for about a month and seems to be more than "just
>feeling tired". .... tired to the
>point of sleeping for 12- 15 hours straight.

Hello, Donna,
Has the mother ever had her thyroid function checked during the early
post-partum period? Could this account for the severe exhaustion which
remedies itself during the first month?
