'Block' breastfeeding - how long to keep it up?

[Racers]

I'm block feeding DD2 (7wks) to try to reduce supply and increase relative fat content of milk (think I have that right?!) to help her with colic and the fast letdown she's struggled with. I've now been doing all feeds on one side for 6 hours before swapping over for just over a week. There has been some improvement so that's great. Plus she will now occasionally accept a dummy which calms her down too.

I imagine I'm best to keep this up for a while but how long? Does colic usually improve at some stage and if so should I adjust things then or does it not really matter? I assume supply will level off whilst DD is feeding regularly, not keep reducing! In fact I know that really, just thinking it through 'aloud'.

Sorry I can't help as I'm not sure what it is that you are doing. What is block feeding?

It's where you stick to feeding from one breast for more than one feed, up to 6 hours (tried 2-4 but it didn't seem to be doing the trick so doing longer period). Not to worry, someone will come along, there's no urgency

Racers, you can continue this indefintely if you are happy and baby is ok...if not, you can adjust. Didn't you post about this last week? Not sure what you are asking, sorry.

Thanks Tiktok, yes, it was me last week - just wasn't sure if it was recommended to be permanent or short-term. Ta

Racers, just to cover my arse, please check this out with someone in real life, too!

Ok, no problem, will do.
