Why we hate triple-feeding and what to do instead
If you have ever had to triple feed OR if someone ever recommends 'triple feeding,' you need to listen to this episode. Triple feeding is when a mom nurses, pumps, and supplements breast milk or formula, and IT IS EXHAUSTING and not sustainable. I welcome Victoria Facelli, a fellow IBCLC-lactation consultant and author of Feed the Baby, who is changing how we talk about feeding babies. We discuss: What triple feeding is and why it’s not sustainable The problem with lactation education and how we got to triple feeding as an option in the first place How someone can balance milk production, feeding the baby, and sleep To connect with Victoria Facelli follow her on Instagram @victoria.facelli.ibclc and purchase her book “Feed the Baby”.
