@dj-du, you’re more than welcome and definitely not alone. I had a few friends that went through it too.

You’ve got this!

@day1401, thank you so much means a lot and glad that I’m not in this alone.

@dj-du, it’s definitely not a good feeling. It will pass! It’s just a matter of time (which is such a crap thing to say because I mean, duh). It’s hard when you know you’re doing something great but your body isn’t letting you actually enjoy.

Hang in there mama!

@day1401, I hate the feeling. It makes me not want to breastfeed anymore but I stay strong cuz I know that’s all my baby takes

@dj-du, she was yes!

I never had the issue with my first, but with my second I did. She fed ALOT. I was nervous to talk about it cause, I don’t know felt weird about not feeling right when she ate. But it honestly did get better.

Try drinking something cold, or play on your phone. Or sing to baby.

It’s such a weird feeling when you let down and have a rush of feelings of your chest knowing baby wants you and what not and so all these hormones and feelings rush threw you.. it took my body a few minutes to normalize again.

@day1401, yes exactly how I feel. I get really nervous too. And I feed in front of people but then if I see someone approaching me even if I know them I cover up quickly and start shaking. Was your baby or is your baby a cluster feeder too? Cuz that’s also a problem I have that triggers my anxiety

@dj-du, mhm, I cried, I didn’t want to do anything and I wanted to cover up immediately, I got really nervous etc. And then it would go away as soon as my let down or leaking would stop.

It was the weirdest thing.

@day1401, I get anxiety and I sometimes want to cry

I got super depressed during my let down. I thought something was wrong with me for the longest time but It went away after a few months, and it seemed nothing I did helped, my doctor recommended I to drink cold water during those times and to try sing to baby through it.

It seemed to help!
