EBF Sleeping and eating habits
Hey there! I work from home and my 8 week old has been sleeping more than usual. I know she is going through a growth spurt at this time. Anyone else’s little one sleeping a ton more during the day and acting like they want to eat but then once they start nursing they fall back asleep? I feel like I’m dealing with a newborn all over again. She sleeps about 6 hours at night. For example, last night her last full feed was at 10 and then I tried to dream feed around 11 but she didn’t want it. I woke up at 5 and was VERY full so I used my Haaka pump to lessen things then she woke up at 5:30 to eat. She fell back asleep until 8, ate a regular feed on both sides like usual, then asleep around 930. This time she woke up almost immediately at 10 frantically searching. I tried to feed her but she will latch then suck a couple of times and be out cold again. I take care of 2 other little ones and have a 2 year old so swaddle her up and put her down only for her to wake up about 10 minutes later acting starving again (and the cycle continues until about 6pm then she eats about every 2 hours then in bed for the night around 10:30/11.
Anyone have any suggestions what it might be? My older daughter was completely different so this is all new to me.
