I had no idea that one could experience depression related to breastfeeding (nursing and weaning), although it obviously makes sense given the incredibly powerful hormones at play. Recently two really good posts on this topic came up and I feel compelled to share them:
Regarding depression related to weaning on A Cup of Jo.
Regarding depression and breastfeeding hormones on helenjane.com.
Both are intensely candid accounts of personal experiences and well worth a read.
