I'm sure you body is just adjusting to not getting your happy hormone fix so often. I'd also guess that it will level out once everything adjusts to the new production or lack thereof </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-exhaustion#post-485740 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 11:30:45 +0000 littleveesmommy 485740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is interesting because I've been exhausted even after I dropped my midnight pump session and got in bed earlier - I guess this makes sense! Hopefully it's a quick dip ad energy levels pop back up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-exhaustion#post-484810 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:58:44 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 484810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heard somewhere that weaning can trigger blues and even depression in the short term! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-exhaustion#post-484780 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:31:03 +0000 Maysprout 484780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: Glad to know it's not just me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-exhaustion#post-484779 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:30:42 +0000 Maysprout 484779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: That would be nice if that happens in the long run. I think / hope the tiredness is just a short term thing of hormones adjusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-exhaustion#post-484500 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 20:09:50 +0000 Weagle 484500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just talking to someone about this tonight at church! We're not at that point, but she said she gained a ton of energy when she weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-exhaustion#post-484469 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:53:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 484469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am interested in hearing responses. I am weaning some now and more tired than ever! Almost as bad as when I was pregnant and when I was waking up multiple times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-exhaustion#post-484297 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 18:17:35 +0000 Maysprout 484297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone else just feel physically exhausted when their LO dropped feeds? LO is 19 months and started nursing like a newborn after her molars came in so over the holidays we tried to cut her back a lot. I was soooo tired physically and mentally even though I was getting more sleep (and not pregnant so not from that). The last few days I feel restored Did this happen to anyone else? </p>
