Real parents needed re baby "triple feeding" (a breastfeeding strategy) For this article, I'm exploring "triple feeding," a strategy designed to increase a baby's weight and a mom's milk supply by repeating this cycle every 2-3 hours: 1) Breastfeeding, 2) Supplementing with pumped milk or formula, and 3) Pumping to stimulate supply. Do you have experience using this method? Did you find it effective? Worth it? Exhausting? Looking for 1-2 line anecdotes. Note: I'll quote you like "Jane D., mom of two in Oakland, California" so please provide those details (last initial, number of kids, city) Thanks!

For this article, I'm exploring "second night syndrome," or the phase 24–48 hours after birth where newborns become wakeful, fussy, and demand constant feeding (cluster feeding). What is your experience with this (exhausting) phenomenon? Did your newborn go through this phase? Seeking 1-2 line stories or insights. Note: I'll quote you like "Jane D., mom of three in Athens, Georgia" so please provide those details (last initial, number of kids, city) Thanks!
