How old is your baby? 4 weeks 5 days Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing and started pumping last week
Have you survived any growth spurts? Learn anything? Yeah the 3 week one, such also coincided with the start of the witching hour appearance. I learned more about burping him properly.
Questions? It seems like DS also cluster feeds in the morning. He wants to nurse almost every hour from 5 am until about 10 am. I've just never heard of this and it's hard to get times to pump because he's always nursing!
GTKY: what's your favorite vacation you've taken? Tie between our honeymoon in Hawaii and our recent trip to Puerto Rico. I love beaches.
You tend to have higher supply in the morning, but the milk tends to be more foremilk, so baby may be cluster feeding frequently back and forth to get more hindmilk. Make sure they get all they want from side one during feeds, when they come off, try burping and reoffering side one to get more hindmilk into them. whe they come off again then burp and offer side two as dessert.
realize also that it could be their particular growth spurt pattern and that they can be in a growth spurt at 7-10 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 mos, but some babies are in growth spurt almost continually for the first 6 weeks or every other week etc.
try to go with the flow, so to speak.
