Late onset PPD or hormonal imbalance

So my baby is almost eight months and the past two weeks I’ve just been slammed with depression. I’m trying to figure out if it’s hormonal and I need to see a doctor before a therapist. Nothings “wrong” with my life and it’s summer so things are really fun. I’m working out daily, eating great but I am just not feeling good. Anyone else experience something similar? I just got my second pp period and am exclusively bf.

I had depression during my pregnancy. I did everything I could to feel better but it didn't help. Do not worry too much on labels just focus on if you want to talk to someone about how you feel. Trust your gut.

I have PPA and PPD with PTSD , I'm 8 weeks post partum. It is definitely not fun. It's literally the worst and hardest thing I've ever been through. I was diagnosed at about 1 and a half weeks post partum and still struggling. On meds but only time can really heal you. It's the worst. I hope that you feel better and get the help you need. I would recommend talking with your doctor because things can get worse so quickly but it's obviously up to you. I just wish you luck and if you need to talk, don't hesitate to reach out. Sending good vibes ❤️

My PPD hit at 8 months. It hit hard and out of nowhere.

I feel anxious, a bit down some times during the day. My mood seems a bit everywhere... Not sure why.

Bottle refusal

EBF and deciding I want a bit more flexibility so wanted to introduce a bottle so I can go out more.

She used to take one three months ago. Now she flat out refuses and cries - doesn’t matter if it’s expressed breastmilk or formula. Tried it in a sippy cup as well. What can I do?

Formula suggestions

Hey! We are new to the United States and we are struggling to find a good formula, we are currently using bubs grass fed formula (pictured below) and we use Karicare (also pictured) back at home. We are looking for something similar that comes in a bigger can as the bubs one is only 20 OZ so we are having to buy 2 cans p/w

Those who use/used baby tracking apps - when did you stop using it

My girl is 18m and I don’t use to rely on it but more so out of habit I’ve realised
She has a set routine now really so I don’t need to use it but curious to know when others dropped
