Low mood after toddler night feeds reduced, or stress at work?

[itsawildride]

My DD has recently drastically reduced night feeds after 2+ years of waking every 2/3 hours. I feel AWFUL! Cannot stop crying. There is some rubbish happening at work. And my period started at the same time. Has anyone else had depression from night feeds reducing? Could it be weaning blues, or is it more likely to be just the work situation causing it all? Normally I am really resilient, so it's hard to know if it is hormones, work or a combination of the two. Help!

Very likely to be hormone change as you adjust to less feeds. When I day weaned I had so much hair loss! Hopefully will settle down soon fkr you.

It hit me hard for a number of weeks each time i reduced breastfeeding. It's horrible, hope you feel better soon.

Thank you both - it's helped to have some reassurance.
