Infant Feeding – Impact on Maternal Mental Health

A Black mother in an orange top lovingly cradles her baby while bottle-feeding. The baby, dressed in white and pink, gazes up at her. They are sitting on a cozy white couch, with a wicker chair visible in the background. The image is part of a flyer for a virtual perinatal learning event titled

Feeding your baby is not just about nutrition—it’s an emotional experience that can impact your mental health and well-being in profound ways.

The postpartum period is a time of immense change, and for many parents, feeding experiences don’t always go as planned. This can bring up feelings of grief, frustration, guilt, and self-doubt, especially when societal messages and personal expectations don’t align with reality.

Join us for this supportive and informative session where we will explore:
🔹 How feeding and mental health are deeply connected
🔹 Protective benefits of breastfeeding & what happens when challenges arise
🔹 Why sleep and support systems matter for maternal wellness
🔹 Common feeding struggles & how to manage them
🔹 The emotional impact of feeding expectations vs. reality
🔹 Reframing the “breast is best” message—because maternal mental health matters
🔹 Coping strategies, self-care, and when to reassess feeding plans

Who is this session for?
This session is for those trying to conceive, expecting and new parents, caregivers, and professionals who support perinatal mental health and infant feeding.
