I know babies feed a lot, but is this some kind of growth spurt?
Baby is 15 weeks, breastfed on demand. Since birth he has roughly fed every 1-2 hrs daytime, and then waking 1-3 times overnight (9pm-7am).
From about 8weeks he has usually slept 9-3am, fed, then sleeps again until 7am, with occasional extra 5am feed.
But the last weeks has gone to pot. Firstly he hardly ate for 2 days daytime, just fussing and feeding 2 mi a at a time, then eating more Evening and overnight. And now the last 2-3 days he is literally eating every 1-2 hrs, 24/7.
Can he really be that hungry? He is taking a decent 15min+ feed each time.
Last night he fed
6pm
7.30pm
8.30pm
10.30pm
12.30am
2.30am
3.30am
5.30am
7am
8.30am
And seems hungry at each feed
It’s very tiring as I have barely enough time in between feeds to do anything basic
