having recently stopped bfing my toddler in order mainly to be able to take st johns wort or similar, I've actually been feeling a lot worse. I stopped about 2 1/2 weeks ago (at which point I started the SJW which I know takes a few weeks to kick in) and aside from the huge guilt and missing the closeness of the feed, I feel 10x worse! Incredibly tired, incredibly low. I'm wondering whether to start bfing again - LO wants to still anyway. I was only feeding him 1x a day anyway. I just don't want to go thro all this again though but can't carry on as I am. Should I persist and wait for the SJW to have effect in a couple of weeks? Anyone experienced this?
