If feeding your baby feels stressful, emotional, or overwhelming, this episode is for you.
Many parents are told that feeding struggles mean something is wrong with the bottle, the formula, the schedule, or their technique. But in practice, feeding challenges rarely exist in isolation.
In this episode, Deb gently reframes feeding stress as a whole-system issue, not a personal failure. Drawing on over 15 years of experience supporting families in the first year, she explains why reflux, bottle refusal, and fussy evenings so often show up together and what they are really communicating.
This conversation is about nervous system load, depletion, and why feeding stress is often one of the earliest signals that a family needs more support, not more advice.
In this episode, we cover:
Why feeding struggles are rarely “just about the bottle”The common cluster of reflux, bottle battles, and evening fussinessAnxiety vs intuition when feeding feels chargedHow parental depletion and burnout show up through feedingWhy mental health is healthcare in the postpartum periodWhat actually helps when feeding feels hardHow to reframe feeding as information, not a problem to fixIf feeding feels heavy right now, you are not doing it wrong. You are responding to a system under load.
Support is allowed. And it matters.

Beschrijving

Doula Talk is a podcast for parents navigating the real, often messy middle of postpartum and early parenthood.
Hosted by Doula Deb, a birth, postpartum, and sleep doula with over 15 years of experience, this show offers compassionate guidance, honest conversation, and practical support for the first year and beyond. We talk about postpartum recovery, newborn care, sleep, nervous system regulation, and the emotional load that so many parents carry quietly.
This isn’t about quick fixes or perfect routines. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface and building steady, supportive foundations that help both parents and babies feel more regulated over time.
Through solo episodes and thoughtful conversations with trusted experts, Doula Talk helps you make sense of sleep struggles, feeding questions, recovery, and the constant mental load of early parenthood, without shame, pressure, or panic.
If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or deep in the exhaustion of caring for a baby, this is a place to slow down, feel less alone, and remember that you’re not doing this wrong.
