I am a first time mother, with a baby girl (Lillian) who will be one month old tomorrow. For the last three days she has been extra fussy, sleeping a lot less and for shorter periods of time AND seems to want to nurse constantly! I am breastfeeding and she will eat for a good 10-15 minutes, fall asleep and then when I put her down she will be awake again, fussy and show all the signs of still being hungry.. this will go on for hours at a time all throughout the day. I am producing milk, and nearly every time she is done nursing she will have a little milk drool, she's also having regular wet & poopy diapers, so I assume she is getting enough, but why does she constantly want to? and how long is this going to go on? I feel like I can't be away from her for any period of time because she gets to a point where only thing to calm her is to feed her. Is this growth spurt behavior.. is it wrong to feed her this much.. what is going on?!
