Just part of growth spurt??

Eveamlizya · May 2012

I have come to the conclusion that DD is in her 6 week growth spurt...she's been unusually fussy the past two days and tonight she's started hungry, hungry, hungry all the time...she fed from both breasts completely and then I had to whip out a 2 oz bag of pumped milk from the freezer and give her first bottle ever because I just didn't have any milk right after she finished nursing. Even that only satisfied her for another hour. And she's been sleeping longer stretches during the late afternoon.

She's had another symptom since yesterday though...yesterday she only had small amounts of poop in her diaper after every feeding, but at 4 AM this morning she had a MASSIVE poop (pretty much made up for the whole day yesterday) and today she's only had another massive one at around lunch, but no other small poops. She's still peeing normally and she's acting fine otherwise other than the occasional fussy and being hungry hungry hungry. Could this just be a part of this growth spurt or should I worry about it?? I EBF and she usually has 6 poops a day except today and yesterday, but the poops that she has had totally equal a whole days poop seriously. Should I worry about it? I can't make an appointment with her pedi until Monday if it is something I should see him about so I wanted to see if any of you guys experienced this too...TIA

Nope, don't worry about the poop thing. Sounds perfectly normal to me.

all sounds normal to me too.

DD switched like that, too. One day she had 8 poops like she had all along and suddenly started going one massive poop every day or every other day. It's been that way since!

We're going through the exact same thing. DD, who is currently 7 wks, went from numerous dirty diapers each day to almost only wet diapers with one explosive dirty diaper maybe every other day. This was about a week ago. Around this time she also started wanting to nurse more often. She's slowed down on the nursing a bit, but the diaper pattern hasn't gone back to where it was before.

Ds is doing the same thing! We took it as a growth spurt. He turned 6 weeks yesterday!
