4 months postpartum

I'm four months postpartum . Just got over my first period ( weird b/c I'm still nursing every 2 hours). But- I'm experiencing menstrual like cramps? Is that normal? I also still feel so exhausted. I'm eating very healthy- especially b/c LO has food allergies- and taking supplements. My body is sore a lot ( but that could be from holding LO all day). Any advice? I'm sooo tired!

Are you taking any kind of iron supplement? Anemia is common postpartum and could contribute greatly to making you feel so tired. I would suggest Floradix

No- I'm not taking any iron- maybe that's it. LO was colicky- so I stayed away from iron ( read it could bother his stomach) - But I'll try it- thanks!

Well, since you've started cycling, pregnancy is possible since you're out of the "Ecological Breastfeeding Contraception" point. Could you be pregnant?

Iron is a good suggestion, too.

Hope you feel 100% soon!
