headaches after weaning

[Anonymous]

So I was finally able to wean Ben after over 20 months of breastfeeding! I can’t believe I did it for that long considering how horribly awful it was in those early months.

Anyway, since I’ve stopped nursing, I have had pretty bad headaches, and I can’t figure out what’s going on. Could it be hormonal? I guess that makes sense, but I don’t remember this happening after weaning Claire. Have any of you breastfeeding mamas experienced this before?

Hmmmm…that is interesting.

I don’t remember after weaning my first son, but I just finished the weaning process with Nathan a couple of weeks ago, and I did notice frequent headaches. I just thought it might be due to seasonal allergies or something, but now that you mention it — it very well may have been due to hormonal changes….

How long since you officially weaned? Any other changes with you, maybe diet? Any unusual stress? Just throwing out ideas. Hope you feel better soon!
