Hello,
First accept my congratulations for having baby recently.In lactating mother or in post delivery cases sometime such numbness occur due to carpal tunnel syndrome.There is compression of nerves at base of wrist due to swelling of tissues.
You should do following to have releif-
-Mild analgesic like acetaminophen can help in reliving pain.
-Start wearing CTS Splint.
-Avoid continuous bending of hand at wrist or any type of compression over the wrist.
-You may consult to a neurologist for this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari
