Hi Everyone,

Not sure if this is a phase, I hope that it is and then I can just carry on doing what I am doing.

My DS is 5 weeks and from Monday he's been feeding every 2 hours during the day. Some of the time he has a super quick feed (less than 10 minutes, but really good sucking and I can feel my BB has gone down so he's getting lots), other times a decent feed where he'll have both sides and take his time.

At night time he usually has a long sleep (between 6-8 hours) starting from about 6 or 7pm and then wakes after about 3-4 hours for the rest of the night and once the sun comes up it's every 2 hours again. So I am quite happy with the night time the way it is given he's so little.

I don't really mind but would rather he feed less often. At 5 weeks is he having a growth spurt and that's why he wants so much??

I try really hard to get him to feed for longer, playing with him to wake him up or changing him and trying again but he really knows when enough is enough.

Anyway I hope that this makes sense! Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
