Episode 190 Forget the Clock: The Real Guide to Feeding Your Baby

This episode, hosted by International Board Certified Lactation Consultant Lo Nigrosh, discusses common misconceptions about baby feeding schedules. Lo challenges the often-given advice to feed babies every 2-3 hours and emphasizes the importance of understanding individual baby's hunger cues over rigid schedules. The episode covers how to identify early hunger cues, the impact of swaddling on recognizing these cues, and exceptions to regular feeding patterns. Additionally, it provides guidance on how to recognize adequate milk transfer, ensuring that babies are fed according to their needs rather than the clock.
