12. Why Weaning Triggers Anxiety (Hint: It's Not What You Think)

Experiencing anxiety or intrusive thoughts during weaning your baby from breastmilk? You're not alone. In this episode, I break down why weaning can trigger intense emotional responses—and it's probably not what you think.

Many moms get stuck on anxious thoughts about their baby's nutrition or questioning if they're good mothers, or literally about ANY other scary topic when they are ending their breastfeeding journey. But what if these racing thoughts aren't the real problem? What if they're distractions from deeper emotions happening beneath the surface?

I explore the hidden emotional side of weaning that gets overlooked, and why addressing these feelings is key to finding peace during this transition.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why your mind wants to take you down anxious rabbit holes during weaning
  • The difference between anxious thoughts and the emotions driving them
  • How suppressed feelings fuel intrusive thoughts and anxiety
  • Practical ways to address what's really going on emotionally
  • When weaning anxiety might need professional support


Perfect For:

  • Moms currently weaning or thinking about it
  • Anyone experiencing anxiety or worry about breastfeeding changes
  • Partners supporting someone through weaning
