Pumping for 6 Months to Feed for 12? Let’s Talk About It.
A new trend is making the rounds on TikTok: moms aiming to pump or breastfeed intensively for 6 months to create a stash big enough to feed their baby for an entire year. Sounds efficient, right? But what really happens when you try it?
In this milestone 50th episode, Naiomi teams up with Katie Tims IBCLC, for an unfiltered look at the promises, pitfalls, and everything in between. From how much milk babies actually need, to the realities of oversupply, freezer storage surprises, and what breastfeeding really feels like in the second half of the year—this conversation is eye-opening.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode
- Why the “6-month stash” plan is gaining popularity
- The truth about daily milk volumes and whether they keep increasing
- Oversupply: blessing, curse… or both?
- What parents often don’t anticipate about hormones, nutrition, and breast health
- The freezer stash surprise no one talks about (hint: taste changes!)
- Why many moms find breastfeeding easier—not harder—after 6 months
- A week-by-week approach that may serve families better long-term
Key Takeaway
Is the 6-month pumping plan a genius shortcut or a recipe for unnecessary stress? You’ll have to listen to find out.
