Growth Spurt?

FTM.. So I'm not sure what to expect.. But I think LO may be going through a growth spurt. She has been nursing more, is increasingly cranky before bed, and has been crying out to be held (which is new as I hold her most of the day as it is). I'm not complaining by any means, just curious to know if this sounds like a growth spurt?

    Sounds like she's amping up for one! You might already know this, but I feel it's worth mentioning for others' benefits: Baby will nurse a lot in preparation for a growth spurt. They nurse to get your supply up, not because they need more *yet.* In other words, don't supplement. This is baby's way of preparing for an incoming increased need.

    my LO has been experiencing the same symptoms, save for the crying out to be held. though i'm not sure he's old enough to be having a growth spurt already.

     

    i'm curious to see what others say though.

    Babies tend to go thru growth spurts around 10 days, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and 9 months. Like pp said just keep nursing her. It will probably only last a few days.

    My lactation consultant said that they go through a growth spurt between 2 and 4 weeks.  My LO is only 1w1d and I feel like she could be hitting that spurt early because she's been nursing much longer as well.  I'm also a FTM so I don't know for sure, just going off what I was told.

    DS was like that 1-2 days every 3 weeks.  Like clockwork, he was predictable with his spurts. So it is very much possible.

    Brooklyn is the exact age my DD went through a growth spurt.  She would cry all evening unless she was nursing and was nursing every 45 min to an hour for 5 hours.  It was exhausting but it only lasted 2 days.  Now I can say my supply is up! Just keep feeding her and you will get past it!
