Surviving a Major Feeding Surge
This week may bring a significant growth spurt, with your baby nursing more frequently or showing fussiness at the breast. Their increased feeding signals your body to boost supply. It’s a natural and temporary phase that ensures their rapid development is fully supported.
Your breasts may feel fuller and let down more quickly during this time. Hormonal fluctuations might also resurface slightly, so be gentle with yourself if emotions feel heightened.
Tips for You This Week
- Feed on demand and let your baby set the pace—this phase will pass soon.
- Ensure you’re staying hydrated and eating nutrient-rich meals to support your body.
- Take pride in your body’s ability to keep up with these incredible changes!
Fun Fact:
Breastfeeding mothers can provide milk for twins or even triplets, as supply adjusts to demand.
