So yesterday I was diagnosed with moderate postpartum depression..I wasn't quite sure how to really feel about it..but since I'm breastfeeding, instead of putting me on medication she told me to take at least an hour outside with my daughter, start taking vitamin d, and cut out my nightly feeding with my daughter and feed her formula at night so I can sleep...that made me feel even worse because formula wasn't part of my plan at all...😞 also my grandmother and mother were giving me a lot of guilt for always picking up my baby when she cried & so I felt like I always had to let her cry it out and not follow my motherly instincts..which I believe is what has lead me to where I am today. So ladies always go with your instinct, no matter what anyone says. You're the mom, not them. It made me feel better when my doctor said for me to not worry about them. She even wrote on one of her prescription papers a note for them saying for me to hold my baby and signed it with a little smiley face. I love my doc. Just kinda needed to vent

Try finding omega 3 pills. A nurse that I am friends with says studies are being done and it can elevate moods and emergent levels. You want to find something that has only omega 3 and not 6 or 9.

Yes but she feels like my hormone levels need to start coming back naturally so I wouldn't have to be on a pill that would make me not be able to breast feed altogether

That's a blessing from your doctor and you can also remember that you don't have to cut out your nightly feeding you can continue to breastfeed exclusively if you choose to .remember what you said in this post this is your baby not theirs ...
