One of our IBCLCs, Meagan, is presenting a poster at ILCA 2025 on integrating babywearing into prenatal breastfeeding education 💜.

To make this project stronger, she’s gathering feedback from perinatal providers — IBCLCs, doulas, midwives, nurses, etc. The survey takes just a few minutes, and your input will help shape how babywearing is introduced in prenatal education to support breastfeeding success and family well-being.

Not all births go as planned, and for up to 1 in 5 birthing parents, the experience can be deeply traumatic. Whether it’s due to unexpected interventions, feeling unheard, or medical emergencies, the emotional impact doesn’t disappear once baby arrives.

According to researchers, breastfeeding can support emotional recovery through the release of oxytocin and prolactin, hormones that help reduce stress and promote bonding.

But when breastfeeding is painful, unsupported, or triggering, it can worsen mental health symptoms like anxiety or post-traumatic stress.

✨ That’s why trauma-informed lactation care matters.

You deserve a provider who listens, affirms, and meets you where you are — with compassion, not pressure.

💬 If you’re struggling emotionally after birth, you are not alone, and help is available. 🫶

Let’s talk about it: Mom guilt.

That voice that whispers,
“You should be doing more…”
“You shouldn’t take a break…”
“They need you, all the time.”

But here’s the truth, mama:
You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Taking care of yourself is not selfish, it’s essential.
Whether it’s a quiet moment with your coffee, a shower in peace, or asking for help — you are allowed.
Not only allowed — you deserve it.

At Metropolitan Breastfeeding, we support more than just feeding journeys — we support you.
Your wellness, your rest, your healing, your joy.

You matter, too.

Did you know that 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads experience perinatal depression and anxiety? Parenthood is a beautiful journey, but it can also be overwhelming, emotional, and isolating. If you’re struggling, know that help is available, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

Signs of perinatal mood disorders may include:
🔹 Persistent sadness or anxiety
🔹 Irritability or mood swings
🔹 Difficulty bonding with your baby
🔹 Feeling hopeless or overwhelmed
🔹 Changes in sleep or appetite

If you or someone you love is experiencing these feelings, support is available. Reach out to a trusted professional, a support group, or organizations like Postpartum Support International

Let’s Talk About Mom Guilt

Have you ever felt like you’re not doing “enough”? Like no matter how much you give, there’s always something to feel guilty about missing a feeding, supplementing with formula, wanting a break?

Here’s the truth: You are enough. Your love, your effort, and even your imperfections make you the perfect mom for your baby.

✨ Fed is best, whether it’s breast, bottle, or both.
✨ Taking care of yourself makes you a better mama.
✨ Asking for help is a sign of strength, not failure.
✨ Your baby loves YOU, not just how you feed them.

Let’s break the cycle of mom guilt and replace it with grace.

What’s one thing you’re letting go of today? Drop it in the comments!

We’re in this together! 💜
