Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex

Michelle

I have been experiencing moments of negative emotions, almost like I can physically feel a curtain of sadness fall through my body each time my baby latches. I finally googled “why does breastfeeding make you sad” and found out about D-MER.

Have any of you experienced this? I didn’t know it was even a thing until recently, but I feel so much less crazy knowing I’m not the only one.

Here’s a link to more information about D-MER.
