I get nauseous every time I nurse my baby. Anyone has it? What's the reason for this???

I get a nauseous feeling before my milk lets down. It does that while nursing, multiple times, but should fade as the baby gets older and your body gets used to it.

Might be a form of d-mer. You can Google it for more info

I have it too.... Comes from not being hydrated enough

I get it too. Regardless of how much I drink. 3rd baby. It goes away after the first few seconds but it’s super uncomfortable

Yes!
No it has nothing to do with being hydrated or not
It’s a hormone chemical situation in the brain actually.
You’re dopamine/serotonin forgot which one.. drops at a let down- women with lower levels will get this feeling at a let down.
This was my sign to PPD.. I stopped breastfeeding because of it. For me is was nausea but way worse, like depression hitting in an instant.
Could be you don’t have it as severe as I had.
But yeah, it’s chemicals in your brain.

I found drinking Loads as baby latched on helped calm it. It made me so nervous.
Good luck, it does pass eventually.

Yes and I'm planning to formula feed in the future. It's exhausting and draining and really doesn't help PPD. I never enjoy nursing, and I'm getting close to 3 years total of my life spent nursing.

I had it only with my fourth for the first few months and then it stopped.

I got it with all my babies. Like a kind of queasy feeling that's are to describe.
I took it as a kind of reminder that the let down's here... time to drink!
