What can I do? I think I didn't get enough water or something the last 2 days and Clarysa is going through a growth spurt. I nurse her constantly. As in EVERY 30-45 minutes. I know it is normal to go through a growth spurt. How can I avoid giving her a bottle. I don't have any ebm. How long does it take for your milk to come more when going through this? I don't want to give her a bottle bc she doesn't deal well with formula. AGH!

start drinking up, and RELAX! You are probably not empty....IS she snacking, or getting a full meal? I know when Dean was snacking, he was eating that often.
Your doing a great job!

Drink plenty of fluids. If she is putting out enough wet/dirty diapers, don't worry about shortage of milk and do NOT give her a bottle. Yes - they nurse a LOT. When they are this age. IT will get better. RELAX, relax, relax. Remember their tummy is VERY TINY - they can't hold much in it. So they have to eat often. Your doing a great job!
She is above birth weight - that is great!

I'm not sure about powerade. I know it does have a different make up then gatorade. The amount of electrolytes are different.
With her nursing that much it is normal to feel empty or like your not producing enough. This is when some women give up because they feel like their baby is straving because the baby is always on the breast. Enjoy the time off your feet.

If you have poweraid on hand - go ahead and try it. Oatmeal is also a good milk builder. I say find a comfy spot to sit and have DH do all the work around the house while you spend the day nursing, nursing, nursing. Consider it your job right now.
