• Cramping means less bleeding and a flatter stomach, sooner, another benefit of breastfeeding for the mom. Cramping also usually means the breastfeeding cycle is working. • Mild contractions or cramps while breastfeeding are normal after birth.

The discomfort will gradually go away by the first week. If the cramping or bleeding is excessive, ask your provider for assistance. More.
