Hi friend,

A viral TikTok comparing “on demand” vs “spaced feeding” had mums spiralling this week, and honestly, it ruffled our feathers too.

The video showed a sip-sip-sip baby on demand supposedly getting more milk than a spaced-fed baby across the same time frame. But that’s not how it works. Spaced feeding isn’t about starving babies, it’s about consolidating feeds so babies take full, satisfying feeds that tank them up and help them nap better.

In this episode, we unpack:
• The difference between topping up vs tanking up
• Why spaced feeding isn’t underfeeding (for breast or bottle)
• How full feeds protect naps, solids, and night sleep
• Why even NICU babies thrive on spaced feeds

Listen now on your favourite podcast app and forward this to the friend who’s panicking that three-hourly feeds = neglect.
