How Therapy Can Support New Moms During Feeding Challenges By: Sasha Lloyd, PMH-C LCSW (Guest Blog)
Feeding your baby is deeply emotional work — tender, exhausting, and often far more complicated than new moms are led to believe. When breastfeeding feels harder than expected, many women blame themselves or push through pain and overwhelm because of pressure from comparison or the old “breast is best” mentality. In this blog, therapist Sasha Lloyd, PMH-C LCSW, breaks down how therapy can support moms through feeding challenges by easing guilt, reducing intrusive thoughts, and helping you make choices that protect both your mental health and your bond with your baby. No matter how you feed your little one, you deserve support, compassion, and the reminder that fed is best — and you are doing an amazing job.
