I don't understand. What is meant by a block of time? How is this different than nursing using only only one breast a feeding? Where did the term block feeding come from?

 

[alegna]

Block refers to a block of time. For example, all feedings from 2-4pm would be on the right. all feedings from 4-6pm would be on the left. Etc.

Why would you want to do this? Does anyone know who introduced block feeding?

 

[alegna]

In moms with oversupply problems it helps to stabilize supply.

I did it becuase my baby was vomiting watery looking liquid (foremilk) in huge quantities all over everything and her poo was green-ish, very liquid and fizzy.

She also made a lot of clicking, gulping and choking sounds as she fed and having fed 3 children previously I knew that something wasn't right.

I searched for over actve let down on Kellymom, found block feeding tried it and it solved our problems.
