Help, im having a major wobble over breastfeeding. DD is 13 weeks and breastfeeding is going really well. She has always fed every 2 hours, except at night where she goes 8pm til 2am. Thats the longest gap. Recently she has been crying pretty much all day which i attributed to tiredness as she drops off,wakes, cries all afternoon. She also fusses on the boob coming on and off repeadedly like she has wind, but i cant get wind up.

i just had her weighed after a month and she had previously put on around 6lb a week, now shes put 6lb on in a month. her head circumference has also plataued. Now to her credit, the HV didnt mention topping up or anything, she just said we'll weigh fortnightly and see.

But, i'm now having a huge wobble, is she getting enough, is she crying out of hunger, do i top her up, do i pump to increase my supply, do i space out feeds...what do i do?

apologies for typos, punctuation etc, DD in my arms crying but i was desperate to get advice
