HELP! Is this a growth spurt?

Trishd

LO is going to be 4 weeks on Wednesday.  He has been sleeping, what I think, great stretches (about 5-6 hours per night).  He is a huge eater so he eats about 3-4 oz about 1.5-2 hours a part.  He is a light sleeper during the day and his long stretch is usually around 9-10 and wakes around 2-3 am.

Last night I put him down around 9.  He woke up around 11:30, then again at 2, again at 4 and had a screaming fit at 4.  I fed him each waking, changed him, walked him, rocked him everything.  H finally took him for a car ride until he crashed.

He hasn't woken like this since we first brought him home.  Could this be a growth spurt?  Did anyone have a similar experience?  I'm beat

Not sure if it is a growth spurt or not but my LO also has been feeding nonstop and not sleeping well the previous few days. I'm attributing it to a growth spurt that just came late ie not at 3 wks!  Finally today and yesterday he seems to be getting back to being a pretty good napper and going every 2 hrs b/w feeds.   Hopefully it is just a one time thing and he'll be back to his normal habits tonight.  Good luck!

Mine will be 4 weeks on Wed. and we just went through the same thing last night.
LO usually goes down about 9:30-10 and sleeps until 2ish and up at 5 for the day. So a good sleeper. Usually eats every 2 hours about 2 oz.

These past 2 days she eats every hourish and at nigh cluster feeds like crazy. Last night she took up screaming and waking up every hour practically inconsolable. This morning wasn't much better.

I put some gas drops in her one bottle because I figured she'd had a stomach ache from all the cluster feeding. It helped a little. Now she just ate had a screaming fit and basically cried herself to sleep while I rocked her.

 We put Robert to sleep around 9-10pm

 All what you said above is our nightly routine!!! we are lost for daytime..only sleeps any amount if I am holding him. makes for a long day!!  If you have suggestion for daytime sleep I am open!!
