Growth spurt??

Question

My baby is 5 weeks, I feel like all she does is wanna eat, ALL THE TIME... she eats anywhere from 3-5oz... she seems kinda restless as well and extra needy, is this normal...

Answer

There's a huuuuuge growth spurt/cluster feeding period from 4-6 weeks old. 
If you pump and bottle feed be sure to pace feed bottles and power pump when there's growth spurts going on.

Answer

I have a 5 week old to and noticing she is taking ages to settle at her night feed I’m only breastfeeding but she is getting enough cause she doesn’t wake till  4am for her next feed she does grizzle and grunt through the night but settles with a dummy

Answer

Sadly she got used to a bottle so I can only pump, I have always 2 extra bottles but that’s it... I give her one bottle of formula a day in case so she’s used to supplementing... is there anything I can do to increase my milk supply when I’m strictly pumping and bottle feeding???

Answer

If your breastfeeding she is most likely cluster feeding due to her needing more milk she’s basically uping your supply! With that definitely comes some fussiness due to them eating more and upsetting their bellies etc. my son was super fussy during his cluster feed phase i was literally breastfeeding 8 hours a day!

Answer

Probably. It will happen every couple weeks. You have days at a time where it seems like they're on the boob constantly then one day, you're side eyeing your baby while changing their diaper pretty sure they're bigger than they were last time you looked at them.
