The 6-week Growth Spurt

Jordanne has been a bit fussy the past few days. She seems to be rooting all the time, even when she has just fed. I feel as if I'm being sucked dry. I've had days when I'm so exhausted I fall asleep while nursing. That, or I get sore and fed up and contemplate giving her the bottle...except she's smart enough to know the difference and doesn't take to the bottle unless she's starving.

Read in BabyCenter.com.au that babies go through a growth spurt around this time, and that if I b/feed her whenever she demands it, my supply will increase to meet her needs.

Tried that today and it seemed to work.

Funny how there can be milk in there even when the boobs are so soft and empty...
