To bring you up to speed, I had been breastfeeding Olly once per day for a while now and had hoped that I could continue till he at least turned 1. Just recently we stopped completely, we didn’t wean, we just stopped. I’ve tried so many times to breastfeed him, but he just chews or plays with my poor boob. I’ve now got this strong sense of loss and grief, like my baby just grew up in the blink of an eye and I wasn’t ready to let go😞. Yesterday I woke up and just cried — I don’t know why. My anxiety and night sweats have come back, and they're more intense than those first few weeks when I got out of hospital. I’ve also developed a little bit of insomnia, which I just put down to my body being used to Olly waking of a night. So... I was speaking to my friend who is a nurse and she mentioned that its my hormones from stopping breastfeeding. I was like, "I had no idea that was a thing!." Well, now that I think about it — it makes total sense. So I did some reading online to find out why I’m feeling like this, “weaning marks the end of a physical oneness with our children, the close of a very special period in our lives. But we need to remember that our child’s strong need for our presence continues, even if it is now expressed in other ways” says Kellymom. I feel like that’s the one thing that nobody told me would happen when I stopped breast-feeding. Well, now that I know, I feel like I’m NOT going crazy, and I hope that what I’m sharing today can also help some mamas who are experiencing similar, to understand that weaning sadness, anxiety and depression is a thing, it can happen to anyone, and that there is professional help if you feel overwhelmed and can’t manage. Just remember, we are not alone, we’ve got this and we’re doing an amazing job! #breastfeedingweaning #mumlife #momlife #breastfeedingstruggles Wearing @spell」5月6日 5時32分
