Cluster feeding at 6 weeks - is this a growth spurt or am I losing supply?
She's been on the boob every 45 min for 3 days, cranky, and short feeds. Convinced my supply is dropping. Husband thinks growth spurt. Help!

Classic 6-week growth spurt. Lasts 2-4 days then settles. Feed on demand and you'll be fine.

Mine did this exact thing. Settled in 3 days.

Yes growth spurt. Drink loads of water, eat oats, and try not to top up with formula unless really necessary - your body is responding to demand.

Supply doesn't drop overnight - the cluster feeding IS the supply-building mechanism. You've got this!
