Fussy baby- growth spurt?

My son is a preemie, he's 10.5 weeks but 4.5 adjusted. He has been very fussy since Tuesday. Today has been better but still not himself. He sleeps a ton and is crying a cranky when he isn't. He is also eating 3 oz every 2 hours, he used to eat 4 oz every 2.5-3 hours. Today his poop has been a little green (this happened before), he does eat breastmilk. He does not have a temp. I am thinking growth spurt? What do you think? If so how long did your LO's last and does this sound like it?
Thanks!

Re: Fussy baby- growth spurt?
Sounds like a growth spurt. They are usually around 3 weeks and 6 weeks and then lots more throughout the first year and even as they get older (just more spaced out after 1 year). They are fussy, hungry all the time and alternate between fighting sleep and sleeping a long time. Usually when they start sleeping a long time more consistently then you know the growth spurt is behind you.
We are going through the 6 week spurt now a little early. It SUCKS. She catnapped all day for 30 min max each time. Was starving all the time. I can't feed her everything she wants to eat in one sitting either since she will eat to the point of spitting up everything in her tummy. So have to do a little at a time and just do it more times. Lot's of fun. Hopefully she will sleep tonight since she didn't today....
Good luck!
