Growth spurt question

DS2 is eight weeks old now and has had several growth spurts - fussiness, wanting to feed every hour, feeding as if I'd forgotten to do so for a week or so (ha!), etc, etc.

I know why this is. It's to increase my supply. It's what I've told people in the past, it's what I know to be true.

But how come after a feed, I can express 5oz straight off? Surely there's enough there for him without having to do this fussy thing?

Tiktok, did you see this thread and do you know why this happens?

Ds2 is doing this exactly. Must be growth spurt - he is 6 weeks old. Fed loads in the night last night, how long does a growth spurt last?

Couple of days to a few days IME. And it DOES pass

DD3 seems to sleep constantly for 2 days after a "growth spurt", I guess shes just tired after all that feeding & lack of sleep. Meanwhile I walk around looking like Dolly Parton, getting quite uncomfortable while she sleeps. Can't work that one out either./ If she has done it to build supply why doesn't she bloody well want to drink it!!!
