Triple feeding (nursing, pumping, and supplementing) might sound like a solid plan on paper. But for many parents, it turns into a nonstop cycle that’s physically draining, mentally exhausting, and emotionally overwhelming.

In this Follow-Up episode, Dr. Mona talks with lactation consultant and author Victoria Facelli about why triple feeding is often recommended, why it’s not always sustainable, and what we should be doing instead.

They discuss:

  • The real reason triple feeding gets suggested so often (even by well-meaning pediatricians and lactation consultants)

  • Why it can feel like torture and rob families of sleep, sanity, and bonding

  • How to protect both milk supply and mental health

  • What responsive feeding really looks like—and why connection matters more than perfection

This episode originally aired in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, and it’s here to remind you: feeding your baby shouldn’t mean losing yourself.
