Dr. Pedro Hernandez answered

Specializes in Geriatrics

Postpartum: If you are desperate...Why not if you have the means. If you breastfeed you should extract your milk and leave it for the baby. Only remember that neonatal babies less than 1 month are very frail and require a mature, experienced or trained individual to care for them. By caring do you mean your baby or you also care for someone else?

I'm wondering why I'm always exhausted. I'm never fully awake. I eat well, sleep properly, exercise moderately. It seems to worsen over the years.

I woke up with pains in chest at 2am -- very worrying -- but a few minutes later could sleep again. Feel fine now. Just exhausted (probably due to recovering from Covid). What should I do?
