Having settled into a reasonably predictable routine of breastfeeding for about 15-20 mins every 2hours through the day (but sleeping through the night )yesterday she fed constantly from 12pm through to 6 pm with ocasional 5 minute breaks. She then fed pretty much all evening too though I did get odd rests. Normal good night though she woke starving this am.
Is this a growth spurt? How long will it be like this for?
My nips are killing me this morning!!

Pretty normal sassy. Babies go through these kind of spells. Milk production goes up after 36-48 hours of frequent feeds. Your Dolly Parton's will arrive tomorrow
