24/7 on the boob!

Breanna • Walker Ray 💙
I feel like the past couple days my son is attached to my boob 24/7. I can't sleep for a long period of time because he just freaks out. He's 3 weeks old today and we were on a pretty good schedule at night. He was sleeping 4-5 hours at night and waking to feed. Now I can't even put him down. What is going on? Any tips?

My LO is 3 weeks tomorrow and since yesterday has been feeding about every hour or two. Hopefully his growth spurt only lasts a few days I need more sleep!!

I am a firm believer in the 3s - 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months!! They have definitely proved to be my on the boob 24/7 times!!

That's definitely a growth spurt!  Ours lasted about 3 days at 3 weeks old.  Just keep pushing through, it will get better I promise!  If it makes you feel any better, that was also the last growth spurt I "really" noticed in a 24/7 kinda way.  My LO is 4 months and while she has a growth spurt around 3 months, she just would wake up to eat once at night (she normally sleeps 7pm-7am), and didn't eat any more often during the day!  That one lasted about a week.

3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months. I found these three "3's" to be the worst. 24/7 on the boob. It will pass!!!

My son's first six weeks were like this! I never got anything done lol. Sounds like your baby is just growing. He should return to his normal habits in a few days.

Growth spurt. There are a few significant ones early on.
