being a breastfeeding mom

How did you breastfeeding moms handle breastfeeding while your baby was going through her first growth spurt? I feel like a milk machine. I am constantly nursing and shes always fussy. Nobody warned me about this part!

Ugh its so stressful. And its like.. as soon as I think shes full I put her down to make myself something to eat and shes up again demanding to eat! All I can think about is how I wish my fiance could lactate! Lol
