am new to all this, but could do with some help so here goes...
After a difficult start breastfeeding (awful delivery, then Madeleine didn't gain weight so we were told to top up with formula) we had got back to exclusive breast feeding and settled into a pattern of feeding every 3 hours or so during the day and every 4-5 hours at night, which was great. The last three days she's been just the same in the day time, but is feeding every 2 hours at night - so I am exhausted (especially as she always takes an hour or so to feed!).
anyone know why? could it be a growth spurt even though she hasn't changed during the day? (she's nine weeks old now) is it just the hot weather making her thirsty? and, most important, will she go back to letting me get some sleep some time soon?!!
