Growth Spurt?

[Novbaby08]

It seems like the last couple days I've been feeding her a whole bunch, she will nurse for like an hour on and off and like every other hour sometimes every hour she wants to for at least 20 minutes. I spend a good part of the day nursing her. Do you think maybe she's just growing?

Sounds totally normal hun. They can be like this for the first few weeks, then (just as everything seems to settle down) they hit the 6/8 week growth spurt lol.

Sounds normal to me - I think Hebe has hit her 6 wk ish spurt. I've been in hospital since thursday night and all I've done is feed her. Its worked out quite well coz there's bugger all else to do in there!

lol... Jasmine just had a 4/5 week growht spurt. Seemed like she couldn't eat enough, now she has settled down though.

I think with BF your baby is always going to eat more frequently... It is digested quicker then formula.
