  • My lactation nurse said that if they feed for more than 3040 minutes that it is not efficient. Perhaps your LO isnt getting all the milk out that he needs. Maybe chat with a lactation nurse?

  • yes it is normal. babies have growth spurts 6weeks, 3mo, 6 mo. my 7 week old now has been having his for about 3 weeks now! haha he used to only eat 5-15 mins every 3-4 hours then it was 5-19 mins every 2 hours now its STILL every 2 hours but from 20-1hr

    dont give up i know its stressful and it feels like you can never get anything done caus eyour always feeding but hes telling you "hey, mom you need to sit down and relax"

    you are doing a wonderful thing for your baby and thats all he and you need.

    forget the dishes for a little while and focus on that sweet thing <3
