Currently BFing DD2, 4 months. BF her sister to ten months. Remember being hungry but nothing like this. It is constant and overwhelming. I am happy to eat more but really don't want to gain weight! Ideally I'd like to lose but with this appetite it's unlikely. Can someone remind me when this hunger stops? I'm half thinking it will get worse through the fifth and sixth months until we start solids right?
I do worry that I'm not making enough for her. She sleeps badly and wakes 2-3 hourly to feed through the night. She normally gets a bottle a day but that doesn't seem to help with her sleeping. She's big, 80th percentile contrasted with her sisters 50th. Could that explain the hunger?
