Let your baby continue to nurse. This is also baby's way of sending signals to your body to make more milk and to change the composition of the milk to meet his/her changing needs. By topping off with a bottle and not letting your baby nurse, you could be undermining your hard-earned milk supply!!

Last night she woke up after sleeping for almost 5 hours.This may seem like a lot, but she usually sleeps for 10 hours straight. Sometimes more, sometimes less. It's good to know that it won't last long. My baby just turned 3 months old today.

My little one is just over 6 months and I thought that from now on they grow smoothly and evenly - but i was wrong. Alex's sleeping like there's no tomorrow, a lot more than he used to. As in: a couple of hours more, which is a lot for a 6 month old. And this explain why I have to wake up about 20 times in the night, to soothe him. Thanks for this!

I kept thinking it was the desire to be close (since I am breastfeeding) but, it would seem that she is goign through growth spurts and needs more.

This is the only non complicated info I found for what I was looking for! My 10 and a half month old daughter is starting a growth spurt and I'm so thankful for the info here. Thank goodness it only lasts a few days! I know she had spurts before when she was smaller, but this one snuck up on me as I had no clue that she would hit another one before her first birthday.
