Dizzy

Are you hydrated enough? You need a lot of extra fluids when breastfeeding, esp in this heat.
I think it’s probably normal as your body has just been through something huge and now you’re adjusting back but if you’re worried you should see your midwife or GP

Could definitely be dehydration, particularly with this heat! I've been drinking 6liters or more pretty much every day

I was low on iron n although they said my bloods were ok they only work off a scale.
But definitely with the heat n your body healing it's alot going on x look after yourself n rest. Maybe some extra supplement support

Eat and drink while breastfeeding so your sugar levels don’t drop x
