Did anyone go through PPD after weaning?

Question

I breastfed for over a year and just stopped a few weeks ago and I've been awful. I go from yelling one minute to crying the next. I'm not wanting anything to do with anyone and I'm grouchy with everybody. I have no appetite and I'm tired all the time. Has anyone else gone through this? How long did it last and were there any natural remedies that worked for you? My family can't take much more of me:)

Answer 1

It is probably due to the hormonal drop that happens when you stop breastfeeding.  Did you wean gradually?  If not it can cause quite a drop that would put you in a grouchy/crying mood.  I've heard it gets better, sorry I don't have personal experience, my daughter is not weaned.

Answer 2

I don't want to wean her...I am scared of going through that. Maybe you can keep breastfeeding, I'm sre you still have milk. Human babies can wean themselves.

Answer 3

omg im dreading stopping breastfeeding if that happens to me!! im such a moody cow anyway...lol...hope you get better soon ['',]
