Feeling Guilty About Feeding? 5 Infant Feeding Difficulties That Are Totally Normal
Update: 2025-07-09
Description
#189 - Feeling judged for how you're feeding your baby — or second-guessing every decision? You’re not alone.
In this episode of First Time Mum’s Chat, I explore 5 common infant feeding difficulties that far too many mums face in silence — from painful breastfeeding and bottle-feeding guilt, to lack of support, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure to get it “right.”
You’ll hear:
- Why “fed is best” isn’t always enough to ease mum guilt
- What helped one mum finally feel relief after switching to formula
- How to push back against judgment (internal and external)
- Reassurance that your baby being nourished and loved is what matters most
Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, doing both — or still figuring it out — this episode is a gentle reminder that your journey deserves compassion, not criticism.
