    I know I am new and all, but I am not sure this is the right place to ask for advice in your situation. A lot of this will depend on your specific situation regarding the birth, how your body is recovering, how often you feed and the way your child is developing right now.

    Maybe your doctor or midwife or other health professional would be a better place to ask, especially if you are the breastfeeding.
