Constantly feeding!

5.5 month old seems to always be hungry! Like every 45mins! Started weaning a few days ago, not much is going in which is fine, but her breastmilk appetite has gone wild yesterday/today. Also she’s having small amounts frequently of green poo… not sure whether to worry about my milk supply?? Could just be part of the leap I suppose as she’s also been fussier than usual…

My l.o is 5.5 months she was like this last week constantly wanting milk.. not sure for comfort or just hunger... but she's formula fed.. maybe it's a age thing 🤔

Same with mine that is the same age . Waking up 3 to 4 times during the night 😵‍💫😵‍💫

I have the opposite problem 😕 my baby never seems too hungry so I feed every 3 hours and sometimes takes ages to get through a feed.

Same as @Zhana - can hardly drink 3-4oz every feed. Feeds end up lasting 2 or more hours

Well I will say, the Wonder Weeks app says this is a big leap and the tickboxes for how they’re behaving have options for feeding more than usual or less than usual… so if some go one way and some the other I guess it’s developmental and will pass… I imagine it’s more worrying for those who are feeding less than the kind of annoying feeding more - but if it’s common to see changes at this age, let’s all try not to worry! It’s definitely the most busy time for development we’ve seen so far 🤪
