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 feed
- The growth of a baby’s stomach from day 1 to week 4
- The changing milk availability throughout a day for a breastfed baby
- The difference in bottle feeding rhythms versus breastfeeding rhythms
