Hi,
I just wanted to know if anyone else has had problems with sleeping since stopping breastfeeding? I stopped at the beg of July and although physically and mentally exhausted I am struggling to sleep. This has caused me to become very low in mood, the doctor has prescribed me anti depressants but I know that I am not depressed and do not want to take them. I've also been given sleeping pills but again am very anti these as I know its not going to solve the root of the problem. I've done a bit of research and have found that after stopping breastfeeding your estrogen levels plummet ad this is linked to insomnia. If there is anyone that has had this and found a solution I would love to hear from you as am in a stressful place at the moment that I am desperate to drag myself out of.
