Nauseous after breastfeeding?

The past several days I have been feeling really nauseous and it seems to be worse during and after I am nursing.  It has been so bad that I have barely eaten anything since Monday.  My baby is 1 week old and I nurse every 2-3 hours.

I am calling my dr. but was wondering if anyone has experienced this and knows if there is a link between nursing and nausea?

    you need even more "extra" calories than when you were pregnant, so you could be dizzy or whatever because you need more food and water??  GL!

    Could be your lack of food...

    I lost my appetite for a whole month after having DD.  If I was hungry then it couldn't be anything with a lot of flavor or salt.  I ended up having to drink Ensure to try to keep up the calories since I was breastfeeding.  As hard as it was to get food down, you need to eat something.  An empty stomach can bring on nausea.

    Totally - my mom said it was in-part due to the hormone drain.  "Like pulling the drain stopper on a bathtub," she said.
