Growth spurt wearing me out....

My 11 weeks old has decided he'd like his growth spurt early !!

I'm back to feeding almost hourly during the day from 6am.........I was so
tired at 5pm yesterday I gave in gave him 4oz formula thinking it would help
fill him, 2 hours later he wanted another feed.

I feel I can't leave the house as as soon as I've finished feeding, washed
and dressed him and his sister, it's time to feed again.

I went for a walk today and sure enough an hour after feeding him and just
getting to the shops, bam, feeding time again.

Roll on the next 7 days........I don't feel human, I feel like a milking
machine !!

It's just a spurt...nurse him all you can, and your milk will catch up, and
he will go into the sleeping part of the spurt, and life will get easier.
Give it another few days. In the meantime, order pizza, get a huge glass of
water/iced tea, and pop in a few dvd's that you've been meaning to watch!

Hey, I was just thinking purely in terms of ease. Use one finger to dial
the phone. Nurse for 30 minutes. Walk to door. Take money out of wallet.
Hand it to pizza guy. Eat. Nurse again. Leave leftover pizza on side
table. When hungry, eat some more. Nurse again. : )

For some dh's, cooking that gourmet meal is something that is only a dream.
