Stopping breastfeeding, feeling depressed please help 😭
Show your support
@Keerthivasini thank you I appreciate your comment
If you are ready to stop then you should. A year of breastfeeding is a phenomenal accomplishment which you should feel proud of. Now the emotional side of things will be tricky. Weaning depression is a very real thing as your hormones regulate, I would have a discussion with your partner or a family member to let them know what’s happening so they can support you emotionally. I recently weaned my two year old and am breastfeeding a newborn and I still experienced some weaning blues You won’t feel awful forever and hopefully in a couple of weeks you’ll start to be able to look back with pride. Good luck on this journey lovely x
A year of breastfeeding Is an achievement! You've done so well mumma.
@Terri thank you so much for this. My emotions are already all over the place and I’ve spoken to my partner about this thank you. 🙏
@Phaedra thank you so much it feels so bittersweet
No need to thank us, make sure you look after yourself lovely. It’s definitely a bittersweet time 🥹
Stopping a journey is definitely hard but just look back on your achievement. You have done great for the past 1 year inspite of all the troubles. Mental health should be the priority as the baby need Mama not just her milk ♥️
