Colic or hungry

[StaciMN]

Im wondering if I have been mistaking my DS (6 weeks) crabbiness in the afternoons for hunger when it could just be normal afternoon colicky stuff.

Any thoughts?

I have yet to meet a baby who wasn't a crab at that time. Can't go wrong with feeding them and it does get better with time....

oh i do feed but i was getting so stressed because ds woul fuss @ the breast leading me to feel my supply was/is not up to snuff. I think part of it is just that i need to cope with the crab ;) car rides help a lot here.

It could be hunger, or just crankiness (or both), but if your supply wasn't 'up to snuff' ;) then nursing him is the right thing to do...that's the only way it will increase. So just try to nurse him, and take him on car rides when that won't work. :)
