6 week growth spurt

curious on how long your little ones were in the 6 week growth spurt and how much they ate each feeding. My LO is on day two and eating up to 6oz

    We are in the midst of it now. He usually eats 4 oz. about every 3 hours but only went 2 between a couple of feeds yesterday. I gave him an extra bottle right before bed (he ate 3 oz.) and then bumped his first overnight bottle up to 5 oz. Will just sort of play it by ear today.

  • He didn't eat more at each feeding but ate more often. I don't remember how many days it lasted but it was less than a week. Then he slept a ton for 2 days.

  • I was in the same boat as @flip_flops. Not eating more, just more often and when it was all over all he wanted to do was sleep.

  • I can't say LO has had a specific growth spurt (9 weeks today). He has days where he's a bit fussier and sleeps less/more - but nothing very consistent. He's pretty consistent with eating. And once he increases his ounces he doesn't seem to ever decrease them again.

    So, I guess his growth spurts last a day or two?
