Growth spurts and due dates

Just curious on if your LO is early or late for growth spurts in terms of when they were born.

For example my LO was born 10 days past her due date. She was measuring exactly 50th percentile until birth where she "jumped" and was born 8lbs 12 oz. She will be 11 weeks on Monday and has been ravenous today. Most days I seem to struggle to get over 20 oz in her...she just isn't a big eater...and today she powered 20 oz already in between 3 meal bottles and a snacky bottle, so I'm definitely thinking growth spurt. Her past ones have all been a little early, as well. But she's hitting them based more on her EDD then actual birth date.

Anyone else's LO seem to hit physical growth spurts according to EDD rather then actual BD?

Re: Growth spurts and due dates

  • I was going through the six week growth spurt starting at 5 weeks 3 days. It lasted until he was 6 1/2 weeks. He was born five days late, but was only 7lbs 1oz, so he has always been on the small side.

    He is hitting milestones a week or two early as well. So I think just like 'wonder weeks', growth spurts are measured from EDD.
