She only cried the one time. She'd already been eating, and I kept her on the same side when she started fussing a few minutes later, so I'd already had a let down, and it was like I got a second one when she started eating again. It was within ten minutes that she stopped and started again.
She was eating every hour or two today, that's why I think it's just a growth spurt too. Yesterday she ate a lot as well. She's been up 4 or 5 times Fri and Sat night but actually slept 11-4 last night. DH has been home a lot more and I have noticed the days he's home she doesn't sleep as well, I think it's cause he isn't as careful about noise as I am when she's asleep.
She might just want instant gratification as well and that's why she fusses at first and is better when the milk actually lets down. Have you tried expressing before you feed her to get closer to the let down and seeing if that helps at all?
I hope so. I'm upping my tea just to help me produce more...poor thing, she looked so hungry earlier and it almost made me cry thinking my supply was dropping and she wasn't getting enough. But I don't think that's it. I haven't had any issues since she was three days old, so I've been breast feeding with no problems for almost 10 weeks.
Sounds a lot like a growth spurt. Babies generally have them around 3 months (among other times) and feed non-stop for days. Just let her latch and nurse whenever she wants. It shouldn't last for too long. Max of maybe a week or so.
