A. While breast feeding, a mother can lose electrolytes and if they are not replaced, an imbalance will occur which can lead to leg cramps. Leg muscles may also be recovering from the birthing process as well as the pregnancy. Lumbar spine restrictions may also cause leg cramps due to entrapment of peripheral nerves.Stretching and moving around after birth can also help alleviate this pain. Your doctor or midwife might also tell you which types of medications you can take both over the counter and prescription varieties.
