In today’s episode, Jacqueline talks about a rare topic that isn’t talked about enough. D-MER affects only 9% of breastfeeding moms, although most think they have it. D-MER can be confusing, and isolating. It can be hard to cope with especially if you have past trauma triggering it.

Although D-MER isn’t common, Jacqueline clears up the space between questioning and knowing whether you are experiencing D-MER. She provides resources if you are experiencing severe symptoms or are unable to cope.
In today's show, we discuss:

• What D-MER is and when it affects you
• The hormones behind D-MER
• How to cope and when to seek treatment
