If you are on meds for migraine. You can take tablet Naxdom during your headaches As a general rule of thumb, breast feed the baby, 30mins prior to taking medicines and 4 hours after taking medicine

Postpartum headache is common problem.It may be due to hormonal changes, physiological change or stress. . Because mother is busy in baby so she not giving proper attention to herself. She is not taking proper diet, sometimes hydration is poor and sleep disturbances are also there because she has to feed baby at night also.All these factors are causing headache. BP monitoring is also needed. Usually postpartum headache subsides in 6 weeks when hormonal level comes to normal If headache is more then you can take naproxen or Ibuprofen . local application of ointment is also effective. Reduce stress level.
