    Mine is dog this too! My milk didn't come in until day 5! I think she is trying to make up for lost time. She actually only did it for a few hours last night instead if the usual four. Hoping it calms down soon for you too!

    If you're an exclusive breastfeeder my suggestion won't work but if you're open to giving your LO formula the following was suggested by my pediatrician and my parent friends because I was having the same problem.  During the feeding that occurs any
