In this episode
Feeding a newborn multiple times a day can be overwhelming, but Sophie sheds light on why this happens and how it's a normal, healthy process known as cluster feeding. Dive in to understand the biological mechanisms and practical strategies to manage those intense feeding days.
Three strategies for all-day feeding
- Set up a feeding station with essentials like water, snacks, and a phone charger.
- Ensure proper latch to avoid nipple trauma, using the "flank-to-flank" technique.
- Monitor diaper output instead of stressing over feeding frequency.
