Feeling sad when Bf or pumping
Hi Ladies,
Does anyone else feel really sad when they BF or pump? It’s like a feeling of doom and occasional cramps. I’m already 7 weeks pp and it’s not going away. It’s not to the point of depression but every let down I feel just weird. It makes me not like BF

It’s quite common, it’s called DMER, dysphoric milk ejection reflex.
Have a look at something called D-MER it’s an actual temporary condition related to the let down and hormones. I had it with both of mine and it was so intense and the feeling was literally doom and self loathing with shape like cramps. Mine did go around 3 months mark and gradually got less over time 😊
