Whenever we go anywhere, Gracie eats like crazy. I'm getting so good at nursing in public, lol.

When we are at home, she's pretty much every 3 hours or so.

Anyone else's baby do this?

faith does this too... i think she gets really overstimulated easily and burys her head in my chest to self-soothe.
all my family thinks she's a grump because she's unhappy anywhere but home!
i wonder if that's what Gracie is doing? i guess it's a great coping mechanism!!!

i remember having to leave belk three times to nurse...granted there was a really big sale, so i was there for a while :)...when isaac was about 7-8 weeks old. i'm always sure that people think i am absolutely insane for nursing so much. the only thing is...he nurses a ton at home too. he's doing so much better now. i had a really low milk supply for a while, so the poor thing was probably just starving, looking back.

I've noticed my kids do this lots as well. I agree with Meg sometimes it seems to be a comfort/coping thing. The more the baby gets passed around the more it wants Mom lol Mine even do this with dh sometimes.
