Growth spurt?

Delitachan

Hi all!
Well, now that we'd gotten our LO into a feed/sleep sort of schedule (he's 1 month old), his pattern has changed drastically. He used to pull off 3-4 hour sleep stretches and eat around 3 oz last week. Now, suddenly, his feedings cause him random pain, he is so irritable that he yells if we even hold him wrong and yells again if the bottle isn't ready NOW. He'd always been so calm and patient. He would also sleep pretty easily but now as soon as he's put down, he'll wake right up. He is clearly sleepy but if he isn't in our arms, then he wont sleep. today he slept like maybe 7 hours total. It's all a pretty big change from how he was last week and I'm wondering if there's a feeding issue or if he's just going through a growth spurt.

As long as there's no temp is all pretty normal.  Babies this young change so fast and so often.  They're learning too, not just us
Hang in there mama!

Delitachan This sounds very similar to my baby girl and based on other mom friends and the internet, it is likely a growth spurt.  We are fortunate enough that she still sleeps well at night, but some days she barely naps because she won't stay asleep when I put her down. It's definitely frustrating, but then there are days she naps fine. One thing a good friend of mine said, that helps me a lot - is that every changes seems permanent, but just know that it's not.
