Tell me what your 5-6 week growth spurt looked like...

I remember the 2-3wk growth spurt but this is a little different.

My LO is cluster feeding in the morning and early afternoon, cat napping twice in the morning/early afternoon for 20-30 minutes and the long naps from 3pm on through the night. He wakes every 2.5-3hr at night to feed. 

What are your experiences with this spurt?

    My DD cluster feeds about every hour or hour and half in the morning, has one long nap during the afternoon, cluster feeds in the evening, sleeps again goes down around 10 and wakes up between 3:30 and 5 to feed and goes down again until 7 or 8. When she is awake it is usually for 1-2 hours during the day and that super early morning she is up for 30 minutes to an hour.

    It was pretty miserable for us.  Sam would nurse for 15-20 minutes every 2 hours around the clock and sleep whenever he wasn't eating.  Luckily this only lasted for about a week, because I was pretty close to losing my mind from sleep deprivation.

    My late afternoons and early evenings have always consisted of cluster feedings for the most part with some crankiness.  But mornings and early afternoon he eats and sleeps every 2-3 hrs.  At night his stretches are about 3 hrs now.

    My LO has adopted a similar schedule over the last few days.

    I think we're starting it now. It's looking like feeding every 2.5 hours at night and 1.5 hours during the day. At least this time I know what it is. so I'm prepped and know to just sleep whenever I can and leave chores for when this is over. Fortunately the fridge is packed with reheatable meals, so at least this time I'll eat.
