Weaning and mood changes

Has anyone experienced this?  I started weaning slowing over a period of a month in a half.   I had been down to one pump a day for a few days and Christmas morning is when I decided to stop that pump.  I am now at day two of absolutely no pumping.   I feel depressed and so overwhelmed.  It's the same overwhelmed feeling  I had when LO was a newborn.   I'm tired and just plain feeling ugly and fat again.  I should feel a great sense of relief for having more time and not having to pump.  I'm hoping I'm not a lone and that this is short lived and I can get my life back.  I was just wondering if anyone else felt different when weaning their LO.

  • I am more cranky... I guess I didn't equate it to weaning but I suppose it could be! There's a definite change!

    Yes, I felt that way when I packed up the pump. I felt overwhelmed, and the feeling of failure came back. Another chapter with the baby was already closed, and much sooner than I would have wanted. I was also relieved, though, and I started feeling happier pretty quickly.

  • Thanks everyone. Hopefully this is passes. I haven't got my period yet so it is probably hormones.
