Breastfeeding is often seen as the most natural thing in the world, but what happens when it starts feeling like too much? In this episode, we’re diving into the raw truth about breastfeeding burnout—how overwhelming it can be, why it’s okay to stop, and how to handle the guilt that often comes with it.


Whether you’re loving those snuggly nursing moments but also feeling touched out, struggling to keep up with pumping while working, or dealing with the heart-wrenching decision to switch to formula, you’re not alone. I’m sharing my own personal stories, including when I had to stop breastfeeding unexpectedly and when I had to make the difficult decision to wean for my mental health and to get back on medication.


No matter where you are in your feeding journey, this episode is here to remind you that you’re doing an incredible job. A happy, healthy mom is what’s best for your baby. Tune in and let’s shed the guilt together.
