Accidental relactation trauma from roommate's baby.

[Anonymous]

My roommate just had a baby a few weeks ago and when my period started, I seriously started producing milk. It was devestating to me. I am a DV victim and will probably not have another child. I am staying away from them until the milk dries up completely. It made other changes in my body all of a sudden. Fat loss, smelling like iron through my pores, cravings (water and sugar) and some other things. Emotional. I have to go get my smaller size clothes out of storage. I had a lot of trouble breastfeeding the first time and it was traumatic and drove me half-crazy. I pumped 8 hours a day and was stuck in the bed with a sensitive child for 12 hours a day for 13 months. I wish I had supplemented. I do know lots of protocols to dry up my milk supply if I need them. My hormones are extremely sensitive and I wouldn't have seen this coming. I feel so stupid.

Just wondering if anyone has experienced accidental relactation and could use some stories.

I would see a physician. This seems like a strong reaction to me and I'd want to know there wasn't some underlying cause. Good luck, OP.
