It seems difficult to put into words the hard feelings and sharp pain that the heart experiences during a breakup, and especially one that will occur too quickly. The shattered fantasy, the guilt that floods in and the feeling of failure and anger about yourself:


What did I not do right? Where I was wrong? Maybe my decisions were reckless? All of these are also relevant to an extraordinary parting - a parting from breastfeeding.



Anat Yaari, an IBCLC breastfeeding consultant, owner of the Mother and Way School for Training Breastfeeding Instructors, believes that Western society does not like to overwhelm issues that have a lot of emotions and can flare up quickly, so there is not enough discussion about the complex feelings mothers experience during this period. And if you still tried to flood the feelings? There is a chance that they will be silenced with a general statement that "the main thing is that you are both healthy, and in the end everyone grows up, even if they do not breastfeed." But for a mother whose breastfeeding has not been successful, these feelings can be unbearable, and such statements do not improve the mood. On the contrary, pain can cause convergence and an internal process similar to the experience of mourning,Heartbreak or parting.

Sometimes breastfeeding sits in much deeper places.

So first of all, it is important to remember that you are experiencing human feelings and so motherly and normal. You wanted the most basic and existential thing for your baby. Your hormones and body have prepared for the process of motherhood and now, when breastfeeding has not been successful, they are rampant and often produce symptoms of depression, sadness and even anxiety. Beyond hormones, breastfeeding symbolizes the deep physical and emotional connection between you and your baby, the maternal ability and the sweet bubble that was supposed to be just yours and his, and if that didn’t happen, it could be painful in body and heart.



It is important that every mother who reads, identifies and perhaps sheds a tear remembers the obvious sentences but still needs to repeat them over and over again: it hurts, and it is not worth ignoring this pinch in the heart. You are sure to be a loving, compassionate and giving mother despite the feeling of missing out. The connection between you and your baby will intensify over time, even without breastfeeding.



Do not forget to find the place and time for yourself, ventilate these feelings.

Write, talk about it and release.

If you need professional support, do not hesitate!

Sometimes breastfeeding sits on much deeper places in life and in these emotional moments, everything erupts and floats out.

So give yourself a big big hug and lots of love, because you deserve it the most.

The Jama app was established with the aim of addressing mothers of babies from birth to age three, and centralizing for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.

All the content in the app "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to its developmental stages, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.



The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
