How a Mother’s Nervous System Impacts Milk Flow and Baby’s Latch with MiKaylan Cushing

n this powerful episode, we’re joined by MiKaylan Cushing, Holistic Lactation and Gut Health Educator, to explore how a mother's nervous system can directly impact milk flow, letdown reflex, and even a baby’s ability to latch.

MiKaylan shares how emotional stress, anxiety, and past trauma can show up during breastfeeding — and more importantly, what moms can do to restore regulation and confidence. Learn practical tools to support your nervous system, improve feeding outcomes, and create a more connected experience with your baby.

We cover:

• How stress impacts milk supply and letdown
• The connection between emotional wellness and latch challenges
• Signs your baby may be reacting to your nervous system state
• Practical, holistic tools to support a calm and regulated body while breastfeeding

Whether you're in the trenches of newborn feeding or looking to support your postpartum wellness, this episode is a grounding guide for the modern mama.
