She wants to nurse every hour lately

avakatesmama · November 2009

Help!! DD is 5 months old and lately she's been wanting to nurse all the time, my milk supply can't keep up with her. Should I try to increase my milk supply? I just started solids today so I'm hoping that helps some, but any advice would be helpful. TIA

Why do you think your supply can't keep up?

It might just be that she's hit a growth spurt. Make sure you are drinking lots of water and eating plenty - including good protein.

Sounds like a growth spurt. I would just keep nursing... it's your bodies queue to make more.

What makes you think your supply isn't sufficient? The fact that she's nursing so frequently tells you NOTHING about your supply. She's probably just hitting a growth spurt and needs more food. By allowing her to nurse on demand, you're signalling your body to increase production.
