Did stopping breastfeeding stablize your hormones or make you feel worse?

Question

Please elaborate , especially regarding ppa and ppd!

Answer

I felt much better after I stopped breastfeeding.  It was causing me a lot of anxiety thinking about when my LO last fed, when he'd need to feed again, dealing with engorgement issues, and being around others during feeds.

Answer

I ran out of milk literally overnight :( and my emotions have been crazy this week. Mind you I’m also pregnant (may have a little to do with crazy bitch wife here) but definitely Im noticing a change, I also use to find feeding very therapeutic so having that gone probably changed things too

Answer

I wish I could give a better answer. I stopped breastfeeding when my daughter was 14 months old and she has weaned herself off. So I think my hormones had a gradual fall since it wasn’t an abrupt stop. I didn’t notice a change in me when I stopped though. 🤷🏼‍♀️
I also think someone who stops abruptly and early on may have a different experience.
