Yep! For the last few days now he has been wanting a feed every hour or so. We are gobsmacked as we have no idea where he is putting it all!!! Luckily, I am mix feeding so he isn't constantly attached to my boob lol. Logan is now 19 days old.

I think you're really lucky to normally get between 2 and 4 hrs!! Noah is 17 days today and he still has no routine!! I think the longest he's gone is 2 and a half hrs between feeds but mostly I'm lucky to get an hour!!
It is quite normal for them to have occasional growth spurts and want to constantly feed. Unfortunately there's not much you can do, just grin and bear it I'm afraid!!

I'm a bit concerned that i've not noticed an increase in feeding! Do all babies have growth spurts?

George generally feeds every 3 hours, has done from day one, occassionally he has a feed after 2 hours but i've not noticed any particular time when his feeding has increased and he's 3 weeks old today.

Should i be concerned?

When i saw the HV last week he had gained 8oz's in 4 days so i know he's getting enough food.
