Weaned 18 month old and I feel like crap!
Anyone else feel physically sick after weaning?? I stopped breastfeed Friday morning and ever since I feel like crap!!
I am so fatigued, nauseas, no appetite, my stomach hurts and I just in general feel physically terrible. I honestly would think I was pregnant if we had sex since my last period 🤣🤣
I figured it might be the hormones shifting but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this??

I've not weaned yet, but I've definitely heard about a lot of women having such problems for a time as their hormones change after weaning. You definitely have a lot of company out there!
I’ve seen a lot on emotional issues (depression, anxiety) but not a lot of physical ones.
I agree, I've definitely heard more often about emotional effects. But I have heard that physical ones can sometimes happen. Maybe from hormones triggering physical symptoms (just like they can do during pregnancy), or from tiny milk clots that create pains or infection symptoms in the week ish after stopping. Stuff like that.
Obviously, I can't say for sure that what you're experiencing is related to weaning. Just that it's possible.
Yes, I’ve had mastitis 4 times as exclusive breastfeeding which is part of the reason I decided to wean, so I’m hyper aware of those symptoms. Thanks for your opinions! I appreciate it
Oof, 4 times? That sounds awful. I sincerely hope you will feel better soon!
