Hi All!
I've been using BW EASY since 3-4 weeks and it has been working great- until this week! My daughter is 14 weeks today and seems to be going through a huge growth spurt. The first few weeks, I found I have an overactive letdown, and have compensated by changing nursing position and single side feeding. However, LO only eats for 3-5 minutes per feed! This has been pretty consistent, however recently she has been hungry before the 3 hr EASY mark and I'm wondering if she's not getting enough?? Our EASY today has been as follows:
6:45: awake/ eat for 4 mins
6:45-8:00: A
7:50: eat for 2 mins
8:05-9:55: S
10:00- E (6 mins)
1000-1115: A
11:15-1145: S
11:50: E (4 mins)
1150-1:05: A
1:05-1:30: S
1:50: E (5 mins)
1:50-2:30: A
2:30-3:20: S
3:20-4:20: A
4:20: E (3 mins)
4:20-4:45: A
4:45-5:15: S
5:20: E (4 mins)
5:20-7:20: A (BEDTIME ROUTINE/BATH/ETC)
7:20: E (pumped bottle 4 oz because she was screaming at breast!)
I know this day looks nuts, but she's been so off with her eating and napping!!! This is totally new as of 5 days ago, so I'm hoping it's a growth spurt? The only consistency I've been noticing over the past 3+ weeks is that she will eat for a short amount of time during the day and then the feeding before bed is anywhere from 20-30 mins which is really long for her! HOW do I extend these feedings during the day?? She is totally uninterested in feeding after she pulls off, and has a burp. I am not wedded to single side feeding and have tried to switch sides after she burps but she is still uninterested!
Feeling worried (and tired!)
Thanks.....
