He is going through his first growth spurt - and my body is sure paying for it!
Just when i was finally getting the hang of a somewhat reasonable breastfeeding schedule, he suddenly changes course and begins eating every hour. And even when he’s done, he still acts like he’s ready to hit the drive-through at McDonald’s. Like i wasn't already struggling to get enough rest or do anything other than feed him, it’s now extra-exhausting to have a newborn who suddenly treats breastfeeding like a 24-7 all-you-can-eat buffet.
All this eating is showing on the scale! he is now a pound heavier then when he left the hospital! hopefully soon enough his hunger pangs will be over, the growth spurt will end, and things will settle back to normal. Until the next baby growth spurt hits, that is...
but the face i get after he's all done eating is totally worth it :)
he is the cutest baby EVER :) i am so blessed!
