I am sorry I have no advice since DD has been doing the same thing since 11 pm last night.

same thing here for during the day. nighttime is better, usually!

I am glad that I am not the only one going through this today. I just told DH that DD has been grazing all morning.

Are you BF'ing? My DD did the same thing at two weeks. I wasn't making enough milk and she was screaming every hour to eat again, but I had nothing left to give. It was pure hell...but pure bliss once we figured it out and gave her a bottle of formula. This momma's body just doesn't make milk like it's suppose to. Good luck! I have to supplement and I'm A-ok with it as long as she's growing.

hocus:
This is common at 2 weeks. It should only last about 24 hours at most. Just hang in there.

oh goodness i hope so. thanks!

DS did the same thing around 2 weeks! Crazy cluster feeding

DD did this also- I was working on getting my milk supply up for her it got better after her 3 wk growth spurt...now we are getting ready for her 6 wk growth spurt...lucky me (and you ladies too!!)

We're dealing with this too. I know it's pretty common for babies to have their growth spurts at 2 and 3 weeks, so everything will work itself out. Just keep trying to feed her on demand; your breastmilk supply should be able to keep up. Also, I'm grateful when our DD does this during the day rather than every hour at night!
