LO is a month old today (what?!) and the past week has been snacking alllll day. During the day she's eating every 45 mins to an hour (before napping and after). She did this around three weeks and I attributed it to a growth spurt, but now it's back in a big way. Its too early to implement a strict schedule and I'm still feeding on demand, but wondering if there is a way to lengthen the feedings out a bit. She seems genuinely hungry each time and shows plenty of hunger cues so I would feel bad to not offer her the boob, but perhaps I'm a bit too eager to always offer it? Also, we're still in the process of weaning from the nipple shield. That's a whole other story, but maybe that has something to do with it, too?

Her sleep is also taking a hit from the snacking because she only sleeps for 30-45 minute spurts, and it always has to be in my arms (not complaining about that part, but sometimes I do need to eat or something ). I'm not sure if she's waking up because she's hungry (sometimes she only eats from one side before passing out) or what, but I need a remedy for both her short sleeping and snacking! I know she's young yet, so I'm still trying to still do everything on demand but it's also exhausting!
