I'm not breastfeeding and here's why...

I have what is called Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex. I didn't know this was a real thing with my first son and it was so bad that my husband and I actually separated for a month bc my mood swings were so bad. With my second child I saw us heading down the same road and started doing research. After learning about D-MER, I decided to wean bc I was able to come to terms with the fact that it wasn't something I could control. I have decided to do formula this go time so that I can be the best mommy possible and not be emotionally detached from my family.

Just thought I would share in case anyone else out there ever had these feelings on needs support in their choice not to breastfeed. A lot of friends and family have voiced their disappointment so I recently shared this website with them and asked them not to make comments bc it really makes me feel like a failure as is.

Here is a website with a lot of information.
