How can fibromyalgia affect breastfeeding?

Although nursing does not aggravate symptoms for most women, breastfeeding can be challenging for new mothers with fibromyalgia. In a study of nine women with fibromyalgia, all were frustrated by the nursing experience, describing similar issues that negatively affected breastfeeding, including: Muscle pain can cause problems finding a comfortable position for nursing. Stiffness after staying in one position too long.

Fatigue can interfere with nursing, caring for the baby, caring for older children, keeping up with household chores. Medications were limited when nursing. Concerns that their milk supply wasn't enough or that nursing took too much time.

Guilt over having to stop nursing earlier than originally planned. Making plans to frequently change positions during nursing and enlisting others to help with household chores may improve your ability to continue nursing. Remember that your baby benefits from any time spent nursing, so don't worry if you're not able to continue for as long as you might like.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
