🤱 On-Demand vs. Scheduled Feeding: Which is Best for Your Baby? 🤔
Parents often wonder whether on-demand (feeding whenever baby shows hunger cues) or scheduled feeding (feeding at set intervals) is best for their baby’s growth and well-being. The truth is, it depends on your family’s needs and your baby's individual cues.

In our latest blog post, we break down the benefits and downsides of each approach, from optimizing milk supply with on-demand feeding to creating structured routines with scheduled feeding. 💖

🌟 Wondering what chest/breastfeeding looks like for your 6-9 month old? Check out our latest blog post for more insight.

🔍 **Key Takeaways:**
Growth & Development:
Babies start rolling, sitting, and crawling, which can impact their interest in feeding.

Breastfeeding Frequency:
Expect 5-6 feedings per day, with some night nursing.

Feeding Duration:
Sessions last 5-20 minutes, depending on your baby's efficiency and interest (lots of FOMO going on at this stage!)

Introducing Solids: Solids should complement, not replace breastmilk—keep serving sizes small!

Weight Gain:
Normal is 2-3 oz per week, as activity increases.

Biting Tips:
Watch for cues and respond consistently to manage biting.
