The Mental load and Overwhelm of Infant Feeding with Chana Topek Diamond, LCSW, CLC, CD

Many parents experience significant pressure and responsibility when it comes to feeding their new child, particularly around breastfeeding. This is especially true for the individual providing nourishment and nutrition through breastfeeding. Today on Yoga|Birth|Babies I have Chana Topek Diamond. Chana is a licensed clinical social worker, doula, lactation/feeding counselor and childbirth educator. She earned Masters in Social Work from Yeshiva University and worked for many years in both clinical and administrative roles at NY’s largest health and human service agency. Chana works with Helping Hands Psychotherapy, a group psychotherapy practice based on Long Island that specializes in working with folks in the perinatal community. With her multifaceted background in social work, lactation consulting, and doula services, Chana brings a unique and holistic perspective to this conversation. Her insights, affirmations, and empathy are incredibly valuable for anyone navigating the challenges of feeding a new baby.
