I think my boys may be having a bit of a growth spurt or something. Today and last night it seems like they are wanting to eat nonstop, well every 1&1/2-2 hours instead of 3-4, especially L. He's already 5 lbs heavier than his brother, so I hope this just means he's getting taller...


my arms are gonna fall off.

it sounds like a growth spurt to me! also, they do that when a little bug is present and they are trying to throw it off. it is tiring, but better than really sick babies, right? they do it with teething and for major milestones, too, and you are wise to just let them have it. in my experience, if you don't go with their needs and just let them nurse a lot, you end up with very upset, whiny, and often sick babies in the long run. i really hope this passes soon...i feel your pain. :hug

yeah my girls have been doing that the last week or so between a growth spurt and being sick...it's not fun, but it won't last forever and they'll be healthier for it :)
