Help needed!
My 11wk old DS seems to be constantly hungry. He feeds every 2 hours in the day and every 3 hours at night. Up until 9 weeks he was feeding 3 hourly in the day and only up once at night but since then he seems to need a lot more food. I thought he was just unsettled but this has continued and he is always eager to latch on. His weight gain has slowed down too, not much but a bit. HV visitor said he was on a growth spurt but not for 2 weeks!!
I used to have lots of milk in the morning but since he has been waking up more at night i am not so full in the morning. I express 3oz for a night dreamfeed my DH does. By the time we get to 6pm i feel empty, and DS keeps falling asleep on the boob from sucking so hard and not getting much, then waking up 20mins later still hungry.
Don't know what to do about perhaps not having enough milk....and also having to feed him so often as am exhausted! Am eating and drinking lots.
Any ideas????
