6 week growth spurt

prayin4ablssn

Did your preemie do a 6 week old growth spurt according to their adjusted age? Mine are 6 weeks this week and are sleeping so much today! They are actually 15 weeks old. They are sleeping about 5-6 hour stretches at night between 8 pm and 8 am so I feel like we give them a lot of night time sleep, between 10-12 hours. They usually take 2 good naps in the day (am and pm) and a few 10-15 minute cat naps but today they just want to sleep sleep sleep!

I hafta admit it has been nice because I got my house totally cleaned but I just want to make sure this is normal.

I think DS hit his spurts around his actual age.  But he was a fast grower and was in the 50% by 4 months actual.

My DS has always been a great sleeper.  He sleeps all the time, but wakes quite a bit at night (still) not for a long time, but quantity wise a lot.  Guess sleep = growth cause this fatty is 17 lbs.

I don't recall when Andrew hit growth spurts - his has been fairly steady!  He's always been a good sleeper but especially after 6 weeks he was consistantly STTN! Hopefully that is the case for you as well.
