the facts
If you are feeding on demand, which many pediatricians and breast - feeding advocates recommend, then you might feel that your baby is constantly at the breast and you may worry that he’s not getting enough milk. But assuming you have developed a steady supply of milk, that you aren’t limiting feeding times, and that your baby is latching on to the breast correctly, it’s likely that he’s simply having a classic growth spurt. The more you feed him, the more milk you will naturally produce for his growing appetite!
