Growth spurt

Probably a silly question but does this just mean they want to eat constantly and are miserable if they can't? My twins are 3.5 weeks and this morning has been constant feeding and crying when they aren't latched on.
If that's the case, how do you manage to keep your supply up? I can't even put them down to fill my water bottle without screaming. I basically just ate a cold bagel bc I was starving but couldn't handle the crying much longer. I know they're ok crying for a minute but it's so hard to hear and makes me feel like I'm not producing enough. Should I just assume it's a growth spurt and my body will figure it out or should I be working on upping my supply? Thanks!

Re: Growth spurt
Just keep nursing, hopefully someone can help take care of you a little bit while you are nursing. As long as they are having good output, don't worry about supply, your body will catch up. Keep up the good work Mama!
