Me, mad at loud noises.

Lol! But, I think this might explain that rising rage feeling that can happen when one of the older kids is messing with the baby! It doesn’t happen when it’s the older kid messing with the next kid down. So maybe it is very specific to this “must protect the nursing baby (who is lolol not even really a baby and probably more capable of protecting herself than I am as the yougest of 5 😆😅). Biology is just so wild and crazy, and totally makes sense.

I laughed so hard at the bear demanding snacks - it's me!

I wasn't aware of this study, but find this so interesting. I'm using it as an excuse from now on, too - "Sorry I got bitchy babe, I'm lactating"

Thanks for sharing

Yes so much to this. But also, what about the specific rage when your darling sweet baby decides to bite your nipple like a feral little animal 😭

This explains a lot.

"feature, not a bug" -- hahaha nice. I was unable to breastfeed my twins but have PLENTY of rage... perhaps even the formula-feeding, middling level of warcraft is well above the human average. Any data on that?
