Breastfeeding without Guilt: Trusting Your Instincts as a Resilient Mother

Breastfeeding Without Guilt — Trusting Your Instincts as a Resilient Mother
Season 3, Episode 66 | The Resilient Mother Podcast

In this episode of The Resilient Mother Podcast, Tiffany Lorraine is joined by Dr. Sarah Husain, ND, IBCLC, Founder & CEO of Your Downtown Doula, for a grounded, evidence-based conversation on breastfeeding, newborn care, and maternal mental health.

Drawing from over a decade of experience in perinatal care, Dr. Sarah shares practical insights that help mothers release guilt, reduce fear-based decision-making, and trust their instincts during the postpartum season.

Key topics and takeaways include:
The difference between true low milk supply and perceived low supply, and why this misunderstanding causes unnecessary stress for mothers
Why breastfeeding pain is common—but not something mothers should ignore or normalize
Breastfeeding, pumping, and formula feeding explained without shame or comparison
How breast milk adapts to a baby’s environment and supports immune development
Newborn sleep realities, including bed sharing, safety considerations, and risk vs. benefit decision-making
Why maternal mental health and sleep are foundational to healthy parenting
The importance of individualized care—what works for one baby or family may not work for another

This episode is especially valuable for mothers, caregivers, and professionals seeking a realistic, compassionate, science-informed approach to resilient motherhood—one that supports both baby and mother.
