LO has eaten every drop of milk in the house. I'm going absolutely crazy trying to pump to keep up with him and losing my mind trying to keep enough bottles and nipples washed for him.
Whew, how long does this growth spurt last?!
-
I want to say 3 or 4 days
-
It was a couple days here.

6 week growth spurt was the low point of mommyhood for me so far...I almost went crazy for real. Less than a week for us- maybe 5 days or so.
-
It was about 3-4 very tiring days.

@tororojo: it's definitely the low point for me. I'm so exhausted and going insane trying to keep up my supply and all he wants is to be held. I can't pump and hold him, so I feel horrendous, like I can't do anything right. So for now, I'm holding him. If he winds up with one bottle of formula, I think it'll be okay. It doesn't resolve the supply stuff, but I can make some lactation cookies or something if I need to.

@septemberlove: hang in there! I hope it's over soon for you. And you're doing everything you can, so you deserve a hug and pat on the back. For me, the worst part was LO CONSTANTLY screaming during awake times, and I think I let her nap on me during the day that week for hours and hours. Good luck!

@tororojo: wow. I can't imagine. LO is just fussy, no screaming. He just grumbles and whines but laying on me has him so content, it's unreal lol. I can't get anything done but at least he's happy and not fussing. DH got a taste of this growth spurt stuff and hasn't come around since lol.
