I am breastfeeding and heavily sweating every now and then?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heavy sweating ?'s: Breastfeeding regularly will inhibit normal ovulation cycles by affecting the pituitary, which stops ovarian estrogen and so-called "hot flashes " with heavy sweating can occur, as withdrawal reaction from the presence of estrogen. There are other causes, but see your gyn physician for an exam and other testing.
