16 weeks - huge demand jump at night

KayteeGee

Hi there.
DD is 16 wks tomorrow and for the last three nights she has been wanting to nurse every 90 mins to 2 hrs - all night!
Before this she used to give me one good 5-6+ hr sleep block.
Now ... I'm a zombie. She's nursing 20-30 mins then sleeps for 60-90 mins.
Help.
I think some of it is comfort sucking (should I push a paci?) but much of it is actual eating (I used to get about 3 oz extra via pump MOTN but that's not happening at all now).
She is still in our room (not bed) does that make a difference?
My pump output at work has been consistent so I don't think I've had some random supply crash ...

Probably a growth spurt. Hang tough mama should only be a few days

sounds like a growth spurt to me too. mine lasted about 3 days. hopefully yours is quick and you guys get back to your usual routine

My DD is the same age and she has been waking more frequently too. I think it's a growth spurt as well.
