Breastfeeding grief is the sadness and emotional pain some mothers feel when they can’t breastfeed as they had hoped. This can happen for many reasons, like medical issues, lack of support, or difficulties with the baby latching.
If you’re experiencing breastfeeding grief, you might feel frustrated, guilty, or even a sense of loss. It’s important to remember that these feelings are completely normal. Seeking support from healthcare professionals, support groups, or counselling can be really helpful. You’re not alone, and there are people who can help you through this.
