quick question about bf and growth spurts

My dd is nearly 6 weeks old and I think she's 'spurting'!

She's my second dc and I've bf'd before, but its amazing how quickly you forget ...

She's feeding pretty much constantly at the mo, and my boobs feel quite soft all the time. Have I got enough? Or is it that my supply has simply settled down? Have very fast let down, so have been used to lots of milk up to now.

Any thoughts?

You'll have enough Smile

Feeding constantly is just her way of upping your supply.

Feet up and feed feed feed.

Thank you! I thought as much, but my sleep-addled brain was starting to doubt.

its actually very rare for a womans breasts to dry up or not have enough for their child supply and demand and drink lots of water women who say they didnt have enough or that they simply dried up didnt do enough research about bfing or didnt want to do it anymore and use it as an excuse so that others wont judge them for giving up. so whenever you feel like your not supplying enough you prolly are just worrying too much. how are any of us here if it was so common to not have enough. evenings i always seemed like i didnt have enough but i have a healthy 20 pound 6 month old that is defidently not starved haha.
