Postpartum Psychosis/Nervous Breakdown

According to the British Journal of Medicine:  Severe depression after Childbirth is the

result to stopping nursing the baby too soon.  Nursing helps to bring the female hormones

back to normal after creating a baby then birthing the baby.  Pregnant Mother's nurse your

babies.

After Kelly was born, I had to go back to work, teaching. I had to quite nursing.

I had a "Nervous breakdown. " I asked the Dr. "How do I get better?"  He said,

"Take your pills and come and see me."  I was given electric shock  against my will.

My Mother was not allowed to see me.  "I had brought shame to the family." -(unmarried)

After Tim was born, I nursed the baby, but had to quite due to a yeast infection of the

breast.  I had another Nervous breakdown.  Hospitalization, pills, Electric shock.

Mother was not allowed to visit.  (I was married.)

I had my tubes tied.

The Dr's did not know that the Postpartum Psychosis was due to stopping nursing too soon.

Emotional support, kindness helps.
