DS is 6 weeks and had a growth spurt over the last few days. this is the first one that I've noticed a significant increase in feeding. He's fed BF on demand and co-sleeps I occasionally express for a bottle later that day (4 1/2ish oz) but he wont drink defrosted milk. After each feed I've noticed I've got alot of milk left, this was during the growth spurt, milk dripping out.
Normally I never have this, I don't need pads, never feel full or uncomfortable before or after feeds. For DS or when I was feeding DD1 (for 8 months) or DD2 (for 1 year).
Now DS has finished his feeding marathon and returned to 3ish hour feeds. I've been so uncomfortable if he goes more than 1 1/2 hours without feeding, End up leaking everywhere, feeling FULL and end up feeding DS without him asking, he feeds for a while which helps until his proper normal feed about 1 1/2 hours later.
I know feeding him won't help my body realise he doesn't want that much and I feel guilty getting him to feed for my benefit. But expressing is more discomfort while Im so full.
So should I continue feeding as I/He needs and hopefully things will work itself out or Feed when he wants only and just cope with the leaking/discomfort.
