Mira is 2 1/2 weeks old and when she is awake, all she wants to do is eat. I am assuming this is a growth spurt because its not typical of her. Anyway, last night She was only practically all night from 7pm till about 1ish. Everytime I would take her off (either she was asleep and stopped sucking or she fell off but still had the nipple in her mouth) she would scream like there was no tomorrow, so back on t he breast she would go.

My breasts got so soft and I swear she wasnt getting anything so at 1ish I gave up and gave her a 2 oz bottle of EBM and she gobbled it up and fell right to sleep and stayed asleep for a good 3 1/2 hours.

Sooooo... what can I do to make this easier on me? To help my supply but not make my boobies burst open. Get her to not eat every 1/2 hour? How long will this last? Anything else I should know?
