Babies go through growth spurts where they eat more often than usual. This can happen around 2-3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months. Although it can be tiring, it is normal and usually only lasts a few days! Continue to feed on demand to ensure your body continues to produce enough milk. Fuel your body by drinking plenty of water and eating a variety of healthy foods. Reach out to WIC if you have questions. https://wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov/cluster-feeding-and-growth-spurts
