  Hi hun, how long have you been feeding for? If you are still in the very early days you do get what I could only liken to bad period pains which is your uterus shrinking back.
  Of course this doesn't last too long so if you've been feeding a while it prob isn't that.
  Sorry, not much help really!

  Hey,
  
  I used to get kind of contraction feelings - breatfeeding is supposed to cause contractions that help your uterus to get back to normal.
  
  I also used to and sometimes still do have to have a biscuit during the night because I was so hungry! and I had a jug of water because I was so thirsty!

  No, possibly hunger babe - try taking a cereal bar to bed with you and munching on that (don't choke if you're laying down though!)xx

  I've had these pains as well! Pretty mild, but definitely there, and Beth is 4 months now. It happens very rarely though. Could easily be related to having an empty stomach, I always wake up very hungry but can never be bothered to get a snack!

  Yes!!! I get this all the time! But it's like a period crampy feeling. Was wondering about it as surely the contractions after birth which get your womb back into place should stop by now? Has been 5 months for me. Congrats on bfing for almost 6 months! xxx
