3 week old ds2 has bf'd all day - what does it mean??

[time4tea]

hello

ds2 (now 3wks + 3days old elective cs for breech) has bf'd on and off since 4am this morning, with very short naps (30mins or so) - my boobs feel like wrung out dishcloths! thanks to my fab mum i have taken it easy & eaten plenty but am knackered. he is definitely hungry as has just polished off 3oz of expressed breast milk.

is this just a growth spurt/ him ramping up demand to get more supply? or somthing else?

thanks for tips!

In the absence of any othet symptoms, it means he is a normal, healthy baby, time4tea. Call it a growth spurt if you like - it's what babies do from time to time, and lucky baby that he has a lovely responsive mummy who understands that he loves being close to you and near the food supply at the same time
Don't worry about supply - look after yourself as you are doing, and don't bother expressing either....just feed

agree completely with tiktok. both my had these days in the first weeks. relax and enjoy!!

thanks for the reassurance! we;re surfing the wave and I'm doing it more cheerfully knowing it is all normal
