Dear Everyone,
Here is a new one for me - a woman I know is breastfeeding for the third
time. With each previous experience she had "mild night sweats" for the
duration of her breastfeeding experience (1 year each). She defined mild as
- having to change her night clothes once per night because they were damp.
This time, she is having "major" night sweats - having to change night
clothes and bedding 3 or 4 times per night because they are saturated - can
actually wring them out. Husband also requires changes of nightclothes if
he is touching her, as he also is soaked. I searched the archives but
didn't find any references to this. Has anyone else heard of it? Know why
she's having these? Have any suggestions for releif? My private e-mail is
[log in to unmask] Thanks in advance for any info!
