Always hot. Is this normal when breastfeeding?

I am always hot! It's in the 60's here and I am always getting hot, can't sleep at night I get so hot and I have been opening windows all day. I knew this was normal during pregnancy to be hotter than normal, is it normal when you are breastfeeding as well?

Normal - your hormones are pretty whack right now. It will go away soon though ;-)

I've been noticing that too, especially when I'm BF-ing.

It's totally normal, and it will stop eventually. For the first 6 weeks or so after DD was born, I woke up in a pool of sweat. Between that and my boobs leaking everywhere, it was not a pretty sight.

I had this happen to me too. Sometimes I would get so hot while feeding DD I thought I would pass out. Luckily whithin the last week it has really started to get better.
