Dear Brenda, I think you also might want to rule out other causes of dizziness which can show up when mom (or anyone) is under stress. This might include imbalances in the fluid in the inner ear, which is something I suffer from, and which became worse when I was under a lot of stress, not eating well, and keeping too hectic a pace. There might also be some other causes of this symptom not related to breastfeeding, but related to stress and change, which new moms certainly have enough of. As to getting worse at night, my own symptoms get worse when I change positions quickly without giving my body enough time to get re-oriented. I could see this happening when mom lays down.
