D-MER is a physiological response that occurs in some breastfeeding mothers, typically right before milk letdown. Instead of the expected feelings of warmth and bonding, these mothers experience intense feelings of sadness, anger, anxiety, or even despair. It's like a dark cloud passing over what should be a beautiful moment, it actually leaves you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed.
Incognito in Breastfeeding
I realised from about 2 months in that I had D-MER after I googled it and have found it's become more and more obvious each time. I have a sinking/dread/sadness right before I breastfeed but also multiple other times throughout the day and a few seconds later I'll feel my breasts fill up. My baby is nearly 4 months ...

Hello 👋🏻 I googled my symptoms and D-MER came out. Every time I start feeding, the moment the letdown comes I have this deep sinking feeling in my body, the same I get when I am extremely sad or anxious. I feel very sad all of a sudden. It lasts a minute and goes away. Is it D-MER do you think ?
C in Pumping
Feel like I have to syke myself up to do it sometimes. Sat here in tears tonight because I really don't feel up to pumping after my daughter refused to latch before bed. Sick of feeling like total shit every time.

Just curious if those if you with more than one baby have had DMER each time? I'd love more children and to breast feed in future but don't know if I could go through this again.
