Crazy breast feeding dreams
erindawn

I dream every night about breast feeding. Last night, I dreamed I was in a tub trying to BF in the water and the baby kept sliding down and I had so much milk it was gushing from his mouth and I was trying to catch it in a bottle to save for later. Meanwhile, the cat was trying to get in there to get milk and I was swatting her away.
Weird. My dreams get weirder every day, I swear! Clearly I have anxiety.

Re: Crazy breast feeding dreams
It is good to have anxious dreams while pregnant. I was given an article by a friend on the bump that says that they are now studying and believe that women who have weird/scary dreams have shorter labors and an easier time recovering post partum because we are working through our fears in our sleep.
Breastfeeding is clearly an overwhelming thing to think about at times, so it makes sense you are dreaming about it
OMG I had a crazy breast feeding dream last night too! I dreampt I was breastfeeding and I was in my old junior high school... the breast pump was on the other side of the school, (really weird school layout) so I kept running around like crazy trying to find it. I was frightened that my milk would dry up...
I guess it makes a lot of sense though, now that I think about it because I have been debating doing courses shortly after I give birth, so my milk supply/pumping has been something I have been worried about! That and reading the Hunger Games trilogy which must have added to the obstacle-course feel to the dream!
