What is the three-month breastfeeding crisis?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 01/14/2019

The three-month breastfeeding crisis occurs, when the baby is more restless during some days when being breastfed. This usually occurs at 3 months and is due to the baby's increased appetite, as he is growing and his body needs more food.

It is possible that the number of feedings is increased these days, but naturally the mother will produce more milk for the baby to be satisfied. It is not advisable to give the baby a bottle, even if the woman notices that her breasts are empty.
