The Hidden Struggles of Feeding Time

Feeding your baby is one of the most beautiful bonding moments you’ll ever experience, but let’s be honest, it’s not always picture-perfect. Many new mums face silent struggles that often go unnoticed.

Common Struggles New Mums Face

• Back and shoulder pain from awkward positions

• Sleepless nights making feeding more exhausting

• Emotional stress when things don’t go smoothly

• Feeling alone because no one talks about the difficulties

Why It’s Okay to Struggle

You’re not failing as a mother. These challenges are more common than you think. Every mum goes through her own version of it, and talking about it makes the journey easier.

How to Make Feeding Time Easier

• Use supportive pillows to take the pressure off your back

• Create a relaxing environment with dim lighting and comfort items

• Practice different nursing positions until you find what works best

• Take small self-care breaks—your wellbeing matters too

👉 Feeding time is about love, not perfection. Be kind to yourself.
