The Follow-Up: The Trouble with Triple-Feeding
Manage episode 498202212 series 2686793
Triple feeding (nursing, pumping, and supplementing) might sound like a solid plan on paper. But for many parents, it turns into a nonstop cycle that’s physically draining, mentally exhausting, and emotionally overwhelming.
In this Follow-Up episode, Dr. Mona talks with lactation consultant and author Victoria Facelli about why triple feeding is often recommended, why it’s not always sustainable, and what we should be doing instead.
They discuss:
The real reason triple feeding gets suggested so often (even by well-meaning pediatricians and lactation consultants)
Why it can feel like torture and rob families of sleep, sanity, and bonding
How to protect both milk supply and mental health
What responsive feeding really looks like—and why connection matters more than perfection
This episode originally aired in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, and it’s here to remind you: feeding your baby shouldn’t mean losing yourself.
