First “real” period - pain help

🌹

My LO was ebf up until today (avocados!)

And despite his nursing every 1-3 hours day and night, I’ve had on and off spotting every 8 weeks or so. Today I’m exactly 6 months pp and af made a full grand entrance (I was EXACTLY 6 months pp when af returned with my first two kids so I shouldn’t be surprised but was hoping to get more time 😂)

The cramps are absolutely horrendous.

I used to take midol but this LO can’t handle much caffeine and I’ve had so little that I’d probably get the shakes from it. Tylenol does nothing and ibuprofen makes me sick.

Any tips for calming these cramps while breastfeeding?
