Block feeding is a breastfeeding technique used to address issues like oversupply or to help manage a baby’s feeding patterns. This approach involves feeding your baby from only one breast for a set period, typically 2-4 hours, before switching to the other breast for the next block of time.
➜ By concentrating feeds on one side, block feeding can help regulate your milk supply, reduce the risk of engorgement, and ensure that your baby receives both foremilk and hindmilk during each feeding.
