Exhausted milk machine :(

Baby is 3.5 weeks and currently bf. He seems to be feeding constantly, every 1.5 hours today, and when he isn't he needs to be held or he screams. We had a really bad night yesterday and I am now exhausted, and just when I think he is finally no longer hungry he screams again.

Would moving onto bottles make it better?

I know it will get better. But currently feeling like I usually do only deep in the night. :(

Sounds great! Really don't worry too much about your supply, once you're past the first week, so long as you feed him when he asks you'll be fine.
I've fed three, each one has been difficult in their own ways, but by 8-10 weeks they've all gotten a million times easier. Hang in there, you're doing brilliantly.

Sounds like things are picking up a little. :)

But doesn't that sound just great? If he manages to empty the breasts in the morning, it won't affect your supply. You can try to express the remainder if anything is left after the second feed in the morning, though, to be sure. And build up a handy backup supply that way.
