#338 | Breastfeeding Q&A: How to Night Wean, Delayed Milk Production, Breastmilk & Cavities, Biting the nipple, Strong Let-Downs, Oversupply

Welcome to another Breastfeeding Q&A episode. Today, we start with a conversation on how to night wean and your personal experiences with what worked best.  

For today's questions, Trisha responds to:

• How child-led weaning works at 14 months, 18 months, and 2 years old
• Nursing strikes at 6 months — why they happen and how to respond
• Night weaning tips: gentle strategies without losing daytime breastfeeding
• Why milk supply sometimes doesn’t come in (and hospital factors that affect it)
• How to stop biting while breastfeeding (without turning it into a game)
• Coping with strong or painful letdowns and oversupply
• Breastfeeding myths: Does breastfeeding cause cavities?
• Nutrition for moms: hops, beer, and spirulina for milk supply
• How to manage sleep deprivation, co-sleeping, and even feeding twins

For quickies, we tackle rapid milk ejection, breastmilk and cavities, reducing oversupply, biting, all-night latching, beer & milk supply, nipple damage, feeding twins.
