Ok so I think DD is just now coming out of her growth spurt - she is 11.5 weeks old and for the past week or so has been eating almost every hour during the day and every two at night when she used to be able to go 3 hours during the day and 4 to 5 at night. I think she is finishing her growth spurt because she doesn't ask to feed as much today but I have noticed in the past few days that she will be screaming bloody murder for a feeding - to check I give her a finger and if she latches on and sucks I feed her. Anyways, she will eat for just a few minutes and then she will be done, or will start 'playing' around with the nipple. Sometimes though she will eat for her usual time - usually it takes her 15 min on one boob to be satisfied with a full feeding.
So, is it because she is still in a growth spurt she needs to eat all the time but just for a few minutes, or has she developed a case of 'the snacker', which if so, how do I get her back to eating longer and longer stretches?
