Guest guest Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 It could be that he is going thru a growth spurt and is trying to increase your milk supply.I am a Mama to 8 kids and breastfed all 8.@ of those have cf they were all demand fed.My last baby was BF until he was 29 months old he was born 5 1/2 weeks early and had milk allergies.I felt as if I was a cow ..He went thru lots of growth spurts.Do you sleep with your son? I found I got a lot more sleep with my babies right beside me.One tip is to lay down with him and sleep when he sleeps you will be amazed at how a little nap works wonders (this Advise is from one sleep deprived Mama to another ) Another thing that might help is too eat some bacon or other fatty food to increase the fat in your milk which makes a fuller baby. Do Not let them Decrease your breastfeeding less than every 3-4 hours or your milk supply will suffer as it takes the stimulation by the baby to make more milk and any less than 3-4 hours signals the brain to produce less milk .BeckyB.-Mama to 8 kids -Nana to 2-----NY state WIC Breastfeeding Peer Counselor with more than 10 years personal breastfeeding experience.
