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

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