Growth spurts and sleeping patterns

My baby girl is 3 weeks old tomorrow, and I am fairly certain she is going through a growth spurt. I am BFing and I know that she will want to nurse more often, which she has, but after every feeding she falls right back asleep for an hour... then she is up and ready to eat again. is it normal for her to fall back asleep after every feeding? Her naps are about an hour/hour and a half shorter than usual but she almost always is awake for at least a half hour after nursing. Just wondering if her constant sleeping could be part of the growth spurt

Re: Growth spurts and sleeping patterns

  • Babies at this age are so unpredictable, imo.  We never really had a "schedule" for a while (I'd think we had a schedule and then the next day/week it would change).  I would guess the change in sleep patterns could be a result of a growth spurt
