Hi just checking in to see if anyone had similar experiences as I can’t recall this being an issue with my first child.
My DC2 is almost 9 months and for last 6 weeks or so really reduced the amount they would breastfeed, very reluctant to breastfeed day or night but good eating solids so no weight concerns as getting well balanced diet and plenty of calcium. So went from 8 feeds per 24 hrs to about 4 quick ones and sleeping much longer at night , my supply dwindles and I no longer feel a let down but know still some milk there when feeds. Two weeks ago my period came back for first time. For the last month or so since the severe reduction in feeding id say my mood/ hormones are all over the place- like terrible PMT, irritable, cranky then weepy for days, low mood etc, just don’t feel like myself at all- crying over very small things. The return of the period mixed with other life stress happening at same time probably doesn’t help but just checking if this is somewhat normal?l’m hoping everything eases out soon and it’s just hormonal - anyone any advice or support?
