4am 3 nights in a row.

What happened to my wonderful finally sleeping through the night child? Apparently he's growing and his diapers are too small. He has woken up at 4am the last 3 nights soaked through to his clothes and ravenous. I knew he was going through a growth spurt because no matter how much I nurse him or how much I pump for extra stimulation my supply has not been keeping up with his demand. I've been supplementing milk that I've pumped in the evenings. What is the law of supply and demand? How long does it take for supply to catch up to demand? Hopefully not much longer.
