BF weaning and depression??

I struggled with baby blues the first 2-3 weeks post partum. Things improve and I have EBF since. Now I will be weaning LO, but find I'm struggling again. Can the two things be related when someone stops breastfeeding can they then develop PPD?

    Yes, absolutely. The hormone change can certainly trigger a depression. It may be that you'll feel better once your cycles/hormones regulate a bit, but it would probably be worth checking in with your doctor or therapist about.

    yes, I have heard from other women that they get depression after weaning and getting better when getting their period. So its all hormonal, sometimes I wonder why were we made so complicated!!!!
