Growth spurts?

My son was born at exactly 34 weeks, just over two months ago.  I know the usual age ranges for growth spurts for term babies, but was wondering what to expect given his early birth.  Will they coincide with his actual age?  Adjusted age?  Unpredictable?

 

Thanks!

    I don't know of any specific/exact ages for growth spurts. With both of mine when they all of a sudden are eating so much more than previously or sleep a lot, I just chalk it up to a growth spurt..Coundn't tell ya when it happened.

    My son always eats the same and seems to always sleep a lot...so unfortunately, I haven't noticed them, but with my FTer I remember a 6 week one for sure...

    Honestly, I didn't notice any abnormal behavior out of either of my kids that I could attribute to a growth spurt until they were 20 months old.
