Postpartum headache

I'm having headache almost daily especially when I missed my napping periods between each pump. Halp. And my flu and cough persist for 2 weeks. Seen a doctor but I think it's the lack of sufficient sleep thanks to the 3 h interval pump... how do I sustain this period without falling sick or getting a headache... #postpartum #confinement #headache

Omg the 3hr pump schedule is really no joke 😔 the headaches are almost definitely from the sleep deprivation. A few things that helped me - try to nap the moment baby sleeps even if it’s just 20min, and make sure u’re drinking enough water cos dehydration makes headaches so much worse especially when pumping. For the flu lingering so long, ur immune system is just very run down rn. Ask ur doctor if u can take vitamin C supplements while BF. Hang in there 💖
