Fussy non-stop feeding at 3.5 weeks old

ccarrozza1

My baby has made a bit of a change the past few days. Now she is clustering pretty much all day...she rarely wants the breast and when she does she doesn't stay on for more than 10 minutes. She wants constant contact with me and drags out each bottle for what seems like forever but won't let me take it away. I am basically changing her diaper/feeding her nonstop for hours now. now she is finally asleep and it's been so long that I have to pump and can't nap. Exhausting!

Sounds like a growth spurt! Hang in there, you're doing great!

Probably so but hard because she is so so gassy! I feel bad for her! I wish there was a better way to burp this lil one!

She wants constant contact because you are her mom and she's still so young. They are very needy for a while so hang in there.

Sounds normal! You just have to get through it.
