BF making me uncomfortable

It’s hormonal make sure your getting sunlight and exercise

There's this thing called d-mer I believe that can give you anxiety, depression, rage, etc. during a letdown and can definitely make you feel that way, in the beginning I would feel so mad every time my baby latched, probably because it hurt so bad too. But just remember, if you're not comfortable/happy with breastfeeding, it's 100% okay and you don't have to continue if it's something you don't want to do.

Yep totally. So I know it sound weird but I try super hard to like not think about it or like I move him around, switch him to the other one often And sometimes I even just stop for a second, I walk around while doing it and just anything to sort of distract from the feeling and before I know it he’s asleep I also take it out of his mouth as soon as I see him dozing off and I put him tummy down on my chest and soft softly oat his pack to finish. Him off to go to sleeps this way he isn’t just sucking to be pacified and making me feel more ick

I often get super depressed and low energy when I feed but I usually perk back up. Your giving life force energy and it’s normal to be feeling every or no emotion 😐 Breastfeeding is hard work but know it is so powerful and you are giving the best form of nutrition for you LO. I try to make sure I get outside get some sunlight and make human connection as much as possible to keep me out of the low funk.

Does any of this sound relatable? https://www.reddit.com/r/moderatelygranolamoms/comments/d9zocp/dmer_or_dysphoric_milk_ejection_reflex_have_any/

Some mamas choose to exclusively pump for this reason

Sounds stupid, but when you’re feeding ag might try to keep something moving. I would keep lifting my leg up. It’s a sensory overload. I wanted to write a whole blog on how to get over the feeling of it. Im 15 months in and getting used to it 😂

Sounds more like aversion that dmer to me and I haven't even gave birth yet but I'm worried this will be me because in general life if someone accidentally touches my nipple i am filled with rage and even if it's intentional stuff during sex it can sometimes eventually lead to the ick for me and I have to stop. I asked a friend and she said she never experienced any of that in general life or breastfeeding so I dunno if bf aversion is connected to those or not. Do you struggle with anything I've mentioned here? Also anyone in the comments who have aversion can you relate at all to anything I said?

I’ve never wanted to breastfeed as the thought of it gives me the ick. I’m buying a pump for this reason. BF isn’t for everyone x

I went through this too and I would unlatch him for a few moments. It definitely was just a phase for ne and am EBF 5 months on and don't get this sensation anymore x

It definitely gets easier

It’s worse when I’m tired but yes @Rach 🧿🧿🧿 its aversion not dmer from what I’ve read. And yes I’m really not into nipple touching in real life either so prior to having this baby (ftm), they were barely even touched even by myself . Tends to be worse for night feeds

I got aversion when I entered my second trimester with my second baby. It was awful. It actually contributed to me weaning earlier than planned. No advice, but I know how you feel 😩
