Growth Spurts?

My little guy is overall a very happy baby & fusses or cries very little.  Yesterday he started fussing a lot more, wanting to eat more frequently & more volume as well. He has done well with increasing volume in the past & is taking all of the bottle at every feeding.  I read on kellymom that the growth spurts usually last 2-3 days &  this sounds like what is going on. He just turned 6 weeks today. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Advice/tips?

Re: Growth Spurts?

  • That does sound right to me.  I recall looking up the growth spurts "schedule," and it was like clockwork.  When teething starts, some of the same irritability, fussiness, etc., will be back.  It sounds like you are right on target, mama.

  • Hang in there its a long few days! My LO also started sleeping longer stretches during his 6 week growth spurt. Fingers crossed for you to enjoy the same.
