My midwife was confused by she said PPD doesn't usually come on that fast and I didn't understand how I could feel so miserable with my beautiful newborn in my arms. I've noticed that it still happens but I only when I breastfeed. It's so nice to know that it's normal and not crazy or depressed. I didn't have this with my first so it was confusing. <br /><br />www.bossyjocie.comJocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13885049805769065964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-60861045967087273272015-08-12T14:13:38.354-07:002015-08-12T14:13:38.354-07:00Wow.

I figured it was something related to PPD. I never knew how to explain it to anyone though.

But man, I've been going crazy, anxiety, frustration, sadness every time I breast feed. I've almost stopped numerous times. I went to half nursing/half bottle. But we are currently into our 5th month and it seems as though a veil of sorts has been lifting and we're almost solely nursing again. It felt like misery. Didn't know what to accredit it to and this is extremely interesting! So thanks for sharing.

She mentioned feeling like breast feeding was an obligation that she intensely disliked... Thank you for this. ❤ amyvelveteenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406950687249257201noreply@blogger.com
