Hi, I have been an LC working in a hospital in Central New Jersey for three
years now. I usually am a lurker but today I have a question. I have a mom
who just had her second baby. She quit breastfeeding with the first due to
depression while breastfeeding. She would like to make a go of it this time
but has started to get the same feelings all over again. She has a feeling of
nausea and sadness while she is breastfeeding. I can assume that this is
related to the releases of oxytocin during the MER but I'm not sure how I can
help her with this situation other than reassure her that this can be
perfectly normal. If anyone has had experience with this situation or can
help me counsel her please help.
