D-MER or Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex is a condition where the let down reflex, which typically causes feelings of love and bonding toward your baby, has the opposite effect and makes you feel a sense of dread. There are varying intensities/severities of this condition and it is rare, but we wanted to highlight it in this episode to bring awareness and education to breastfeeding moms out there listening!
