Does weaning make you emotional?

[bellany]

Yep. Breastfeeding gives you that lovely oxytocin rush and when you stop the oxy drops and you can feel a bit blue while ypu adjust.
Hope it passes soon for you *hugs*

Weaning left me feeling very depressed and teary for about a month afterwards. It was a gradual weaning, but it felt awful. I was otherwise emotionally "ready" for him to wean so I didn't immediately make the connection.

Take care.

What they said. I felt down for quite a while afterwards. *hugs* hun.

Thanks so much girls, that is really reassuring. I have been reacting to things disproportionately lately, so will be good to keep in mind that at least part of it is probably hormonal. I finished watching Lost the other night, and was crying afterwards because I would never get to see the characters again. DH thought it was a bit weird...
