Oh Wise Knowledge of Breastfeeding Ones,
I have a client who is dealing with ongoing unexplained nausea for years  
now.  It started 4 years ago with her first child, and is worse now with  her 
second.  She has had hospitalization, tests galore.  N one seems  to be able to 
find a solution.  Odd thing...while she is nursing, it  subsides.  I had heard 
of nausea during nursing, but never breastfeeding  relieving nausea.
 
Her hcp does not think it is breastfeeding related so has not advised her  to 
wean.  She however would like this to end.  I suggested eliminating  all 
wheat for starters.? If that doesn't do it, assume other allergies and start  
elimination diet.  Interesting note...neither of her boys settle  well.  They 
don't sleep more than a couple hours at a time.  The first  did this until 2 years 
of age.  The newest one is up at least 6-8 times at  night.  Mom is needless 
to say exhausted!  Since this may be allergy  related, would that cause 
unsettle sleep in the babes too?  No fussiness,  nothing other than sleep issues and 
happy to nurse all night long.  But, if  it is related to a slight nausea 
feeling, but nursing makes it "feel all better"  that could still be allergic 
behavior?  Yes? No?
 
Any other ideas welcomed.
 
Thanks
