Increase Milk Consumption in Week 6


Sean turned 6-weeks-old last week. We have noticed his milk consumption had increased and shorter in his feeding interval.

I have read somewhere (sorry didn't keep the link) there will be growth spurts when baby turns 6 weeks old.

True enough on Sean. Out of sudden, he consumed more! He was able to empty one side of the McB or when we feed him EMB via bottle, the interval has shorten from 3 to 2 hours (or shorter). When it is less than 2 hours, we fed water or sooth him on pacifier.

Yes, I have introduced water and pacifier to Sean. Well, water is not necessary for an breastfed exclusive baby but we wanted to train Sean to drink water since young just like his Che Che. Pacifier comes in as a 'good helper' to train the little fella not to be cuddled to sleep or treat Mummy's McB as pacifier :-)
