I think pumping milk has made me knackered and confused...

I'm b/f my second child and they have just started nursery. I know that when I feed DS (and DD before that), I tend to feel tired and grumpy after feeding them. But today I was just pumping.. I felt great all morning then had to pump and got on with it. Since then though I've felt really tired and awful and down. I had lots of great plans for this afternoon, but now I just want to go to bed and hibernate! Anyone else had this?

Both feeding and pumping used to make me feel like I had the life blood drained out of me, rather than just milk. Now DS is 9mo I don't notice it when feeding, but it is why I haven't bothered expressing since he was 8 weeks.

The mere thought of it makes me depressed!

I'm sorry you had it too, but I'm glad its not just me!

My DS is 9 mo this week (Jan 17th)
