Nausea while pumping

Berberich12

I was just curious if anyone else gets a slight nausea feeling when they pump? It doesn't happen when I feed my son, but always happens when I pump. Pregnancy is not a possible reason for the slight nausea in case any one might be suspect. Just want to know what is causing it and if anyone else has ever experienced it. Thanks.

maybe try changing the suction setting on your pump? i vaguly remember something like that early on, but I EP and its just rote now.  anyway, just an idea.

I sometimes get light headed, but not nauseous, while nursing or pumping. It helps if I drink water during the session.

UUGGHHH this actually happens to me before most let downs

doesnt matter if i am pumping or nursing. My LO is 5 mths now. My lactation consultant said it unfortunately affects a small amount of women and there is not a treatment besides making

All the time, and only when pumping. It gets better toward the end if a session, but it's pretty strong at the start.

Congrats on your LO and thanks for your post. You are absolutely right! That is exactly how it feels. I will try to beef up my liquids before my pumping sessions. Unfortunately, I think this is my payback for having a fairly easy pregnan
