Have you ever felt a sudden wave of sadness, anxiety, or dread while breastfeeding? You’re not alone. In this video, we explore Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) — a little-known but very real condition that affects some lactating parents during letdown (milk release).

D-MER is not a mood disorder, but a physical reflex caused by a sudden drop in dopamine. We break down what the science says, how to recognize the symptoms, and what you can do if you're experiencing it. You'll also learn how D-MER differs from postpartum depression or anxiety and why awareness is key to getting the right support.

Whether you're a new parent, lactation consultant, or birth worker, this video brings visibility to an often-misunderstood part of the breastfeeding experience.
