Babies: 0 - 3 Months

6- 8 wk growth spurt

I know there has been some posts about cranky babies and the 6-8 week growth spurt. Well I really didnt know much about this until I say a post about it and realized I am not the only mom dealing with this!!! So has anyone noticed that their LO tends to fuss the same time every night? I notice my dd will fuss and refuse to eat between 6:30-7:30.. I am so glad I am not the only mom going through this and it will be done shortly!

  • I don't know what's up (I'm assuming growth spurt), but DS fussed ALL night and was up screaming for food every 1-2 hours.  He also spit up a lot of it.  He is finally sleeping, and I hope it lasts awhile!

  • Yep! During that time he would not take a bottle and would only nurse. I think nursing him was the only thing that kept us relatively sane during that time. He was a hott mess!

  • Yes, the evening spell is often called a "witching hour", and can last a few hours. It does fade, if I remember correctly with DD, she was better after around 3 months old. Pedi's say that they have to get their frustrations out from the day.

    Yes, the growth spurt at 6 weeks sounds a lot like what you're all going thru. The eating often, maybe sleeping more or less. GL!
