I am Breast Feeding and little one appears to want to breast feed all the time at the moment, does anyone think it could be a growth spurt, or as she has a cold maybe she isn't taking as much milk in when she is feeding? Does anyone have any advice?Thank you

Could be a growth spurt or comfort feeding due to cold. A mistake I made at this time was I thought DS wanted to feed but he was actually tired....I eventually worked out that the poor fella just wanted some kip but I kept putting him on the boob when he cried. Might not be the case with your LO but just something to consider!

DS always fed loads when he had a cold - might not necessarily be a comfort thing. It's keeping them hydrated in any case! Only advice is to go with it really - it should settle down in a few days whether it's a growth spurt or the cold - or a combination of the two!

It could be the cold thing i think, just fed her again for 10mins and she has gone down fingers crossed thanks!! I think she is tired too
