Thank you for talking about DMER. As a CLC I occasionally pick up on it in moms but many of them don’t mention it because they believe it’s just in their heads. Most doctors don’t seem to know about it either.
I really enjoy and am thankful for your content. I get so frustrated by all of the wrong information shared on the internet about breastfeeding. You are so spot on! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

I wish I had known about DMER before I gave birth and was breastfeeding. I had INTENSE negative thoughts about my husband and sometimes my twins when pumping. I went into total despair sometimes and had so much hatred and gross feelings about my poor husband. I tried to explain it all away with just having to go back to work 4 weeks after their birth, having twins, being in graduate school, and being incredibly sleep deprived. I didn't feel like I had PPD/A while I was in the thick of it (I probably did) because it mostly happened when pumping (rarely when I actually was breastfeeding). It was really hard and made the first 15 months of their lives so up and down. Thanks for bringing up DMER. All birthing parents need to be aware of this !

Wait so is it normal to feel hunger or thirsty when breastfeeding

[KaliMoonSESSD]

Yeah I had that, anytime I would breastfeed I’d feel extremely irritable, over stimulated, nauseas and depressed and what’s weird is even after pregnancy labor and delivery when I am done breast feeding, normal nipple stimulation with a partner or self stimulation also makes me feel very nauseous and like these gross butterflies in my stomach

Okay I think this is what I might have mine is more of a sad feeling or like heartbreak
