hunger in bf

[jan2011]

is it normal to be more hungry during a growth spurt - like do you actually need more calories during a growth spurt? baby is going through growth spurt, cluster feeding from 4 and i find myself snacking more frequently from breakfast right through!

Hi! Yes more calories are needed during a growth spurt and more sleep as well. Babies do all they're growing whilst asleep so they need more food and more rest during a growth spurt.
