First Time Mum's Chat

Feeling Guilty About Feeding? 5 Infant Feeding Difficulties That Are Totally Normal


Listen Later

#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.
