    It's reasonably common for women to feel nauseous in the early days of BFing (sometimes longer), usually triggered by the let down. I certainly had it, expecially during the night feeds! I'm not sure about vomiting though, that's outside anything IME. That's not doubting you have it Mel, just saying that I don't know anything about it, or it's causes!

    I'm sure you've tried everything, but the one thing that has been 'proven' to help, is to have a snack just before you feed/express. Being hungry will only exacerbate the problem. It did help me to an extent, although I still felt a little sick. It's worth a go anyway

    ETA, Mel, don't feel crappy, you're doing a really good job Vomiting is NOT fun, especially with a sore tummy
