Episode 190 Forget the Clock: The Real Guide to Feeding Your Baby
This episode, hosted by International Board Certified Lactation Consultant Lo Nigrosh, discusses common misconceptions about baby feeding schedules. Lo challenges the often-given advice to feed babies every 2-3 hours and emphasizes the importance of understanding individual baby's hunger cues over rigid schedules. The episode covers how to identify early hunger cues, the impact of swaddling on recognizing these cues, and exceptions to regular feeding patterns. Additionally, it provides guidance on how to recognize adequate milk transfer, ensuring that babies are fed according to their needs rather than the clock.00:00 Introduction: Common Baby Feeding Advice01:20 Debunking the Average Feeding Schedule02:39 Understanding Your Baby's Hunger Cues05:23 Exceptions to the Rule07:47 Final Tips and Seeking Help08:43 Conclusion and Contact InformationBook a lactation consultation today or reach out to be on the podcast! https://www.quabbinbirthservices.com/Head to Apple Podcasts or Spotify for more Milk Making Minutes episodes!Make your voice heard on The Milk Making Community Group on Facebook!To purchase books about breastfeeding, birth, or parenting that I love and help support the show, go here.
