Need words of encouragement
I am a FTM and my son is currently 4 weeks old. I EBF except for the occasional bottle of breast milk at night that my husband will feed our son if I am exhausted. Things have been going really well but the past 3 days have been really tough. My son went from eating every 2-3 hours to every 1 1/2 on the dot. He is fighting sleep, fussing, and taking cat naps of no more than 45 minutes bc he wakes up to eat again. He also has been super hard to feed with him constantly Unlatching and crying (he normally is a BF superstar). I have been managing really well until this morning. I broke down after being exhausted from not sleeping due to the feedings and having such a rough week. My husband suggested possibly supplementing with formula if I am having a hard time keeping up with the frequent feedings (for my sanity. He just wants me to be happy and hates seeing me so upset) but I really don't want to do that. My question is... Is my little guy going through a growth spurt? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? I don't know how much longer I can go with out breaking but I really want to keep up EBF. Any word of encouragement/advise would really help.
