Is spaced feeding starving babies? Or does it actually create better sleep and calmer days? After seeing a viral TikTok about breastfeeding “on demand vs spaced,” Sally & Bec break down what’s really going on, with warmth, honesty, and a lot less smugness than the internet.

This is not about judging how you feed your baby. Whether you breastfeed, bottle feed, or combo feed, this episode explains why consolidating feeds (not dropping them) often helps babies tank up properly, nap better, and sleep longer at night.

What You’ll Learn:
• The difference between topping up vs tanking up• Why spaced feeding ≠ underfeeding• How bottle-fed babies get stuck in snack cycles (and how to fix it)• Why full feeds build appetite for solids and better naps• How spaced feeding works for breastfed babies too• The NICU truth: even the sickest babies are space fed
