Will There Be Enough Milk for Both? Evidence-Based Truths About Tandem Nursing
About this episode
This episode discusses evidence-based truths about tandem nursing, addressing concerns for mothers breastfeeding a newborn and a toddler simultaneously.
Tandem feeding — breastfeeding a newborn and a toddler at the same time — is one of those topics everyone has an opinion on, but few people have solid information about. In this episode, we unpack what the evidence actually says about nursing two children in the same season of motherhood, including milk supply, safety, and how your body adapts. You’ll hear practical strategies for protecting your newborn’s needs, supporting your toddler’s big feelings, and looking after your own mental load, plus a gentle, real-life scenario to help you picture what tandem feeding can look like in an everyday Aussie home. This one’s for first-time mums who are wondering, “Do I really have to wean before baby number two?” and want calm, research-backed reassurance.
