2 week growth spurt

anyone else have a LO that has been non-stop eating? I EBF and my little guy has been eating every hour for the past 2 days. He's 2.5 weeks old and I'm pretty sure he's going through a growth spurt. It's just so exhausting!

    We went through that at 2.5 wks! I was soooo tired, but day 4-5 of it were exponentially better.

    I think we just started that. I'm so exhausted and I feel like he can tell I'm frustrated so I feel bad.

    We are almost at 3 weeks and today has been crazy. DS is fussy all the time and eating like crazy. I'm thinking it will be a Netflix marathon night!

    Our LO is eating like crazy too, I wasnt able to BF (milk came in, was feeling great then *poor* it's gone, no matter how many times she nurses and I pumped in between it all vanushed) and that made me sad but she's doing great on the formula. We had her at her first pedi appt on Wednesday and she's gained 13 ounces and grown 3/4" in just one week (20.5" @birth and now 21.25")! She never lost weight after birth but just gained. Her pedi said she's in the 98th percentile for her height

    Omg! My LO has been cluster feeding since 7am. I had NO idea babies could eat this much! She is 15 days old so I think we are both experiencing 2 week growth spurts for sure. Hang in there. I know I'm sure exhausted.

    My girl is 2.5 weeks and also having a growth spurt but d/t a nipple infection I am exclusively pumping so I have been power pumping once or twice a day to try and simulate cluster feelings. So far so good

    We are at the tail end of a week of this that started when LO turned 3 weeks. It's exhausting but the upside is when they have a "normal" day eating every 2-3 hours, it feels like heaven!

    I have been nursing, pumping and supplementing and DS is definitely going through a growth spurt (he's 3 weeks old). He has increased from 2-2.5oz every 4 hours to 3-3.5oz every 3 hours. Last night, he ate 4.5oz at one time! He did have a lot of catching up to do after losing a lot after birth but the pedi was super impressed when he gained 9oz in less than 3 days. We might have a little piggy on our hands. Luckily, my milk production is starting to increase again after a low supply scare.
