Episode 124 An IBCLC Looks at More Than The Weighted Feed

Have you ever experienced a weighted feed and wondered why the milk transfer was so low? Does your baby never seem to stretch out their feeding times? This week, IBCLC Lo Nigrosh explains why putting all of your faith in the weighted feed can lead you astray, and discusses how to think about milk supply as a baby grows. On this episode you will hear: A story about Lo doubting herself and needing reassurance after a weighted feedThe growth of a baby’s stomach from day 1 to week 4The changing milk availability throughout a day for a breastfed babyThe difference in bottle feeding rhythms versus breastfeeding rhythmsTo get delicious home cooked meals delivered right to your door go to the Feast and Fettle Website and use the code MILK for $30 off your first week!
