7 weeks eating every hour
« on: August 12, 2012, 00:01:56 am »
My 7 week old baby has now started eating almost every hour, but only for about 5 minutes.
Its as if she waits for the milk to come in and then just drinks that...lazy feeder maybe?

This is getting a little frustrating as I feel as if I'm a milk machine...started bottle feeding at night.
Any suggestions on how to go from EAESY to EASY again?

They do have a growth spurt at 8 weeks- your LO could have hit that early.. how long has she been doing this for?

Agree re. growth spurt.

What about trying some breast compressions (http://babywhispererforums.com/index.php?topic=88759.0) to see if you could keep her interested for a bit longer than 5 minutes?
