37: The Missing Piece in Breastfeeding Prep | Mindset, Support & Healing


Listen Later

Breastfeeding is often talked about as something natural - but that doesn’t mean it always feels easy.

In this episode, I’m joined by mindful breastfeeding practitioner Adele Moore to explore how to prepare for breastfeeding in a way that goes beyond latch and positioning. We talk about the emotional, mental, and relational side of breastfeeding - and why the support you have around you can shape your entire experience.

You’ll hear a powerful conversation about what it really looks like when things don’t go “perfectly,” including delayed milk coming in, conflicting medical advice, and the often-overlooked reality of breastfeeding grief and trauma.

This episode is not here to scare you - it’s here to ground and empower you. To help you feel informed, supported, and more prepared for the full spectrum of what breastfeeding can look like.

Inside this episode, we explore:

  • How to mentally and emotionally prepare for breastfeeding during pregnancy
  • Why conflicting advice is so common - and how to navigate it with confidence
  • The mind-body connection in breastfeeding (and why your comfort matters)
  • What breastfeeding grief and trauma can look like - even when feeding continues
  • Practical ways partners can support breastfeeding (it’s not just on the mother)
  • Simple, realistic ways to prepare your environment for postpartum feeding
  • Why breastfeeding doesn’t have to be “all or nothing”

Whether your breastfeeding journey feels seamless or challenging, this conversation holds space for both.

Because support isn’t something you earn when things go wrong - it’s something you deserve from the very beginning.
