Nursing non stop?

[weeklyplanner]

Anyone else's LO nursing/eating a lot more lately? LO was 5 mo last week. For about 2-3 months he's been nursing 6-7 times a day. Today, it's 3pm and he's on his 8th nursing session. I don't mind at all, just curious if it's a growth spurt or something maybe?

Has he been distracted while nursing lately? I think mine gets distracted and doesn't get a full "meal" so he's hungry again sooner.

Our problem sometimes is he doesn't eat as frequently during the day and wakes to eat at night, at least 3 times (like empties both boobies!!)

Mine always eats incessantly but I do feel like she's increased a bit in the past few days. She's also been fussy and more tired (though logically not sleeping better or anything, just falling asleep at odd times) so I'm thinking it's a combo of growth spurt/teething. But we're end-of-monthers so it may not be the same thing your LO is experiencing.
