So I was pumping/BF up until LO was about 5 months old (about 6 weeks ago). In the final weeks I was only pumping once or twice a day. In the last month or so I've noticed a huge shift in my hormones. Experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions, low energy, knackered even though LO only wakes once in the night now. I've been quite lucky with hormones in that they haven't impacted me hugely or lasted for a long stretch of time, whereas this feels intense! I'm a pretty chilled, positive person, love being a mum but everything just feels a tad heavy and hard at the moment, even more so than the newborn days in some ways. Unfortunately we don't have a "village", so it's just me and my partner muddling through together. I think maybe this is starting to weigh on me a bit recently as well.
I know stopping BF/pumping can cause a big dip, but is this still the case even if I was only pumping once or twice a day towards the end? Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
Would really appreciate any advice or hearing from people who have gone through the same.
