The 6 week growth spurt sucks...

Lisa Frank · June 2011

UGH. This one is way worse then the 3 week, IMO. I'm struggling over here...

Anyone else praying for it to be over soon??

We went through that last weekend. That was the only plus -- that it was mostly over the weekend. SO exhausting. Definitely harder than the 3 week version.

Good luck!

I don't want to hear that it's worse! The 3 week growth spurt is kicking my butt.

I was going to post about this earlier! What are your LO's doing? I'm praying that her waking up every 2-3 hrs last night to eat was because of the growth spurt. I can't go back to how the really sleepless nights like in the beginning. I'll go crazy. She was eating alot throughout the day also. She hasn't been fussier than usual but it's been hard to put her to sleep. She starts crying within a few minutes of me putting her down.

We went from eating every 2.5-3 and napping like a champ, to eating every 1.5-2. She's not hungrier per se, just eating the same amount more often. She's not really more fussy either, just eating a TON and napping like crap. She also woke every 2-2.5 last night. Oh, and this has been going on since Thursday. GRRRR.

Oh, and I realize it will pass soon, I'm just grumpy

Same here. She's been doing nothing but eating and sleeping for about 3 days straight.

I'm really hoping we went through ours last week, between weeks 5 and 6. Elliott gained an Entire Pound from week 5-6 and had 2 days of cluster feeding in that last week so fingers crossed for it being over. He also stopped sleeping 5hrs in a row at night for two nights, but back to 5hrs last night. Please please please let that have been it...

Crap! I forgot about the 6 week growth spurt.

Guess I have that to look forward to soon!

casenlace · June 2011

I'm pretty sure we're dealing with this now too!! She's been pretty good about eating every 4 hours but now it's about every 3, not wanting to nap and super fussy!! She has also been spitting up more than normal so it might be a combo of her formula not agreeing with her. Not too sure what to do! I might call her pedi on Monday to ask about her spitting up! Ugh..... I just want my happy baby back!

JessicaG56 · June 2011

One word...ridiculous!! She is wanting 4 oz every 2 hrs and is just generally fussy! She is luckily still only getting up once at night but seriously just the endless crying is getting old..hoping it passes very soon!

This exactly. I have never gotten more than 4 hours, but now its every hour or 2. I am tired!

idk what happened last night but our LO refused to nap almost all day. He didnt take an actual nap from 9am to 4pm. When he would finally fall asleep once i put him down he would wake up 10 to 15 minutes later. He took one nap from 4 to 6 and then didnt fall asleep until 11... needless to say it was a joyous day.

MiamiMergers · June 2011

We are going through it here too-since Monday or Tuesday. She is wanting to nurse every two hours and is very fussy. Up until this week, she was so easy going. I want my happy baby back!

This is an AVERAGE day for us. Sigh.
