I was seriously post-partum for the seven months I breast fed. So much so that they really wanted me to stop breast feeding, since I refused to take meds while breast feeding.
I'm hoping that my depression didn't interfere with my bonding. I hope it didn't. But I have a memory of sitting in the rocker with the baby, singing him a song while crying my eyes out. And everything seemed both so grey and so absolutely nightmarish.
It was a heck of a bind. Breast feeding was good for the baby. My depression was bad for the baby. I guess we just do the best we can.
