The timing on this is so providential. Tomorrow I’m bringing home my nicu baby (35 and 5) and we will be triple feeding since she can only manage about half her feed by breast. Here’s praying that all goes well!

[@NewLittleLife]

You can do this!! Give yourself a lot of grace and cancel everything else in your life for a while 😅

[@evelynrose136]

My twins are 8 weeks old now. I was put on triple feeding whilst still in the hospital when they were born. I was not told how to monitor and progress to getting off the carousel. It made me feel like I was failing with no end in sight. I wish I had this video at the start, or someone to properly explain at the time. Thank you for this info! I'm sharing with my lactation consultant and mum groups. I'm in a regional area in Western Australia and find there's a lack of resources and support, so keep videos like this coming for myself and others in similar situations! ❤️

[@NewLittleLife]

I’m so glad it was helpful!!! It can be so easy to just do what you’ve always done, but having a plan to get out of that hamster wheel is so important. Twins are even more challenging! Glad you’re getting some help 💙

[@ImaCreativeKiwi]

I wish I’d had this video three years ago when I was feeling completely overwhelmed tripple feeding with my first baby. Now getting ready for baby number two, this is giving me hope for a smoother experience this time.

[@novie00100]

I’m 10 week PP and still doing this, but am now only pumping once a day because I can’t keep up with it. I don’t know what to do, hopefully this video will give me some encouragement and tips. I don’t want to stop breastfeeding.

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

Wishing you the best. We made it through. Hope you're able to as well. Get a consultant even if online. Nipple shields saved my breasts and allowed me to be able to breastfeed and now don't use them anymore

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

We did it and made it through. Wishing you all the best. A consultant even online can help loads. Nipple shields saved us ask about those as well if latching issues. Hugs

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

I did this until month 3 because baby was not latching properly. My sentiments go out to you. Shes so much better now I think because her mouth grew and able to latch better so almost exclusively breastfeeding and bottle maybe a couple times a week if I need to leave home as I am no longer pumping. Thank god we made it to the other side. It's worth it. You got this momma!

[@rutadenisenko637]

I eas tripple feeding my firstborn for 6 months. Almost went crazy 😂 please recommend bottles that you mentioned in the video 🙏

[@MartinaDrascic]

Hi. I have the same situation with posterior tongue tie. Here in Norway they do not want to cut it and the official recommendation is to switch to formula. We have some appointments booked for August and I am doing some exercises to work with his tongue,but it seems these 2 months of doing it will not end so soon as I thought. So I want to become more efficient in pumping to at least bring my supply up to be able to remove the formula. Can you help me with that?

[@SiliconValleyFamily]

I am 33 days pp and i have been doing triple feeding while not knowing that that’s what I am doing. I want to be able to not have to give formula while also not letting nursing & pumping taking over my schedule and without damaging my nipples.

[@NewLittleLife]

I would love that for you too. Do you have help to get there?

[@alonabar2993]

I’m doing triple feeding right now, and usually my baby wakes up hungry right when I finish pumping. This makes me skip pumping sessions and wait for the baby to wake up to feed instead, making sure the baby gets to a full breast. What should I do? How to increase my milk supply?

[@NewLittleLife]

Well, skipping sessions is only going to hurt you. I know it’s hard trying to balance both. Are you working with a professional to come up with a plan and some clear goals of what is needed and how to get there? If not, I’d recommend that!

[@rebeccadecker9744]

Hi! Love your videos. I have been stuck in triple feeding for 2 months now, after realizing at 3 weeks pp that baby was not gaining. At 7 weeks pp I found a posterior tongue tie and got that revised, but by then, my supply was severely compromised, his latch was poor, and he simply preferred the bottle. I am currently only 3-4 oz short of having enough, between him nursing and my pumped milk, but I am getting 1.75-3.5 oz when pumping right after feeds( depending on time of day). So clearly his latch is still insufficient. Do you think working with you could help me? The nearest IBCLC to me is 1.5 hours away! I would LOVE to find someone who can help come up with a PLAN that WORKS!

[@NewLittleLife]

I focus on pumping support for working moms, so that piece I can absolutely help with! If you want help with latching, an IBCLC is a better fit. Try some virtual lactation options like The Lactation Network. If you do want pumping support, feel free to reach out!

[@youacct100]

I'm a working mom exhausted with triple feeding (you just taught me that term!). When I get home, I'm trying to breastfeed instead of bottle feed so I can take a break from pumping, but my baby is teething and thinks it's funny to bite my nipples 😂. Obviously, that hurts so I stop trying after a few attempts and go back to pumping/bottle feeding. Any suggestions to discourage her from biting me? Also, when she latches, she falls asleep quickly or doesn't want anymore so my breasts are not empty and I still need to pump so not sure i can really get out of the cycle; unless, you have any suggestions? Thank you!

[@NewLittleLife]

This situation is a bit complex and needs a deep dive! There’s some good info online about biting, but the feeding cycle needs a bit more evaluation. I do this in my coaching program, but if you want just a one time consult check in with your lactation consultant!

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

@@youacct100 yeah my baby used to fall asleep at the breast and not latching properly so didn't empty but I implemented lots of measurements to try and keep her awake even every 5 minutes burp and switch breasts or if about to fall asleep burp and switch and that wakes them a bit and eventually their mouth muscles get bigger and stronger and improve. Because if they take too much bottle they might realize how easy it is and lose interest in breastfeeding as it requires so much effort

[@dragamboazulinqiacupuntura122]

@@youacct100 go to a lactation consultant most hospitals can guide you or have a service you can consult there

[@celiacaraccioli2180]

They can also do sns so baby is still sucking at the breast.
