I got her up for her playdate we hosted and I swear she was bigger than when I put her down. Her clothes are definitely stretching to the limit which means next week we are moving into the 3-6 month stuff. Has anyone else experienced what I have in seeing their children physically grow? Or am I going crazy?

Cameron's affection for her toy presages her growth spurt.

If I may offer some assvice... Don't supplement. It's counterproductive (literally). Just nurse her and nurse her some more, even though it's frustrating for both of you. Drink lots of water, eat oatmeal, and rest as much as possible. (Will she nurse side-lying?) In about 48 hours your supply will ramp up and she'll be sated again. If you continue to supplement, you won't build your supply and may have to continue supplementing indefinitely.
It's been my experience that growth spurts can happen at any time. (sigh) And they do seem to grow overnight sometimes! :-)
Jerseygirl is right. It depends how you want to deal with it. With DS1 I supplemented, but with DS2, I just sat on the couch and nursed every 20 minutes or so. Exhausting, but worth it!
If you also do constant nursing your supply will rock before you go back to work which I know was a goal. You hate oatmeal so do the oatmeal bars - or add oatmeal to homa-made muffins (I do that for the kids). And lots and lots of water and 1 beer a day.
