Curious thing, which I wondered if any bf experts have a view on. The past few weeks I've really noticed some changes in my body. I am ex bf my 18wk old son, but I've noticed that after all this time the baby weight is slowly dropping off (I'd resigned myself to being chubby until I stopped bf), my boobs have shrunk back to pretty much normal size (I'm in my old bras though boobs just a bit fuller) and today I got my period for the first time since I got pregnant.
The past few days DS has been really cranky and hungry. Last night we had one of our marathon waking-every-hour nights (ugh). It's sadly not unusual for him but there is usually a reason for it, whether a growth spurt or illness. But there's nothing going on for him ATM, so...
Am I going mad, or could these things be related? Is my body pretending it's business as usual and, um, not producing enough milk or different milk?? I know it's crazy, and I am hideously sleep deprived but it feels like things are changing.
Anyone got any views on this at all?!
