I so hear your Chickoin on the libido front, practically the week I stopped BFing 'things' started happening that hadnt happened since I fell pregnant in Oct 07 I cant tell you how freaking relieved I was lol]]> Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:58:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=893656&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#893656 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=893471&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#893471 Author: Chickoin

Yeap, we stopped just before xmas. She dropped from 5-6 feeds to hardly being interested in 1 a day. So once I got her to drink cow's milk that was the end of that. It makes me feel better when I think of the times when she was a brat an the boob, the last feed was all tugging, twisting and teeth. I don't miss it so much when I think of that lol.
Glad you are feeling better today and also that you know you're normal ]]> Mon, 11 Jan 2010 21:20:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=893471&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#893471 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=893361&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#893361 Author: noodle

monster that makes perfect sense, ta for that

so have you just stopped Bfing aswell Chickoin? I hope the sicky feeling stops for you soon! LOL bout ya libido Chickoin bet your DH is stoaked hehe

awww hugs Aimee, I think I would feel sad about it too if he stopped when I wasn't ready IYGWIM I was going to wean him round the 1 year mark anyway so was happy that he decided to do it himself I just had no idea about the hormones and psyco moments I have had that goes with it lol

feeling a bit better today so thats good. was funny tho that I likened it too PMS coz today i had some (TMI) brown stuff so I'm wondering if it is also PMS and AF is on her way back (havn't had one since having him yet) but it has stopped again now so I dont know lol

thanks tho guys now I dont feel so much like an out of control freak hahaha

I stopped BF when Heidi was about 6 months and I was very emotional and teary, it took awhile for that to settle down, But even now I sometimes feel sad about it. ]]> Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:51:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=893239&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#893239 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=892817&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#892817 Author: Chickoin

I felt PMS-y and teary for a week or so and now I feel a bit sick (like I do when I go on the pill). So I guess it's all normal ]]> Mon, 11 Jan 2010 14:00:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=892817&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#892817 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=892494&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#892494 Author: kiwikid

We stopped breastfeeding about a month ago and I didnt notice any difference in mood, except both being happy not to be on boobie call anymore and sad that we didnt have that intimacy lol

But it does make sense that your body will need to readjust to the change.]]> Mon, 11 Jan 2010 10:16:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=892494&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#892494 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=892257&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#892257 Author: monster

I haven't been through this myself yet, but I have heard from quite a few people who went through the same thing after weaning. It's definitely hormone related, but hopefully shouldn't last long - a few weeks at most I think.

When breastfeeding, oxytocin and prolactin are released which relax you and make you feel good, so now you're not getting the same levels you're suffering from a bit of withdrawal. Hope you get back to your usual self soon.]]> Sun, 10 Jan 2010 22:51:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=892257&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#892257 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30883&PID=891529&title=stopping-breastfeeding-and-hormones#891529 Author: noodle
