My DS is 13 weeks old and has been almost exclusively bf on demand since birth (and no formula for the past month). His growth has recently dropped - only put on 2oz in the past fortnight - and I know why that is: I had mastitis, took antibiotics for a week, they upset his stomach PLUS he started sleeping through. He is also slight build like his ma and pa. HV was nice and although she did mutter "thrive lines" she also said she wasn't too worried but bring him back in a week.
Anyway to finally get round to the point, although my rational head isn't worried, this episode has made me a little anxious that he isn't getting enough milk, despite feeding on demand. So I have been watching his cues more and I am bothered that even after a full feed and when he has pulled himself off the boob and had both sides a couple of times he will still headbutt me as though hungry. What's going on? Is he really still hungry or gearing up for another growth spurt or just a bit confused (often happens round bedtime).
Blimey that turned into a mammoth post!
