About the event
Learn about breastfeeding, maternal mental health, and the ways caregivers and babies influence and regulate one another through connection, responsiveness, and co-regulation. Meagan will discuss the realistic expectations around breastfeeding, the emotional experience of early parenthood, recognizing signs of stress and overwhelm, and practical strategies for supporting both caregiver well-being and infant regulation.
Key takeaways will include:
- How breastfeeding and feeding experiences can intersect with maternal mental health
- The foundations of caregiver–infant co-regulation
- Ways to recognize and respond to infant cues
- Strategies for supporting connection while caring for their own emotional well-being
