Highland Lactation

Wondering what triple feeding means? This generally refers to when you breastfeed, follow with a bottle, then pump.
Sometimes baby isn't ready or able to get full feeds at the breast yet. Sometimes we have to build milk supply before baby can get enough milk at the breast. There are many reasons why your lactation consultant might recommend triple feeding. The goal is always to get baby all the food they need to grow properly, protect the milk supply, and keep breastfeeding in the equation.
Triple feeding is a lot of work, and is generally a short term intervention. Do you know any mamas who have triple fed?

Side lying paced bottle feeding supports breastfeeding by slowing the flow of the bottle and allowing the parent to vary the flow by rolling baby and bottle without taking the bottle in and out of baby's mouth, which can create oral dysfunction.
I typically recommend this position to all new parents who are using a bottle, because it allows for more controlled feeding and less distressed babies overwhelmed by flow.
Be sure you are responding to the baby, rolling baby forward for a break if you notice gulping, coughing, or signs baby is struggling.
Baby will only be on his back when the bottle is at the very end to get the last few drops.

While there are many additional layers for POC, this is a scene that it so familiar to so many of us.
"When life gets busy, we don't give ourselves enough grace. Today remember that you are doing your best, and that IT IS ENOUGH."
