3 week growth spurt?

Anyone else dealing with this right now? DD3 is 3 weeks 2 days,  and I swear the growth spurt kicked in last night. She woke up 8 times to nurse. I am so exhausted this morning. I tried giving her a bottle of pumped milk so she could have a little extra, but she spit most of it back up. I guess I will spend the day nursing.

    We just came out of that. Yesterday was finally back to normal. Monday and Tuesday though he was eating every 1.5 hours day and night. It was rough! We have a baby scale at home and he went from 7 lbs 10.5 oz last tuesday to 8 lbs 9 oz this tuesday! Hang in there!

    Not yet, but I did introduce a bottle a couple days ago so DH can help with night feedings and to feed in public (nothing against nip, I just am not good at it). It took 3 different feeding attempts to get him to take it. GL

    At 2 1/2 weeks we spent 3 days on the couch just feeding. DD grew almost 2 inches in those few days. It was pretty crazy.

    I'm nursing as I type because DS wants to eat for 30 minutes out of every hour and after adding in burping and diaper changes.. there is no time. Argghhh. lol

    DS isn't quite 3 weeks yet, but the last couple of days, he's increased his formula from 4oz every 2-3 hours to 4.5-5oz every 2-3 hours.  I feel he is about to have a big growth spurt.

    Yep, in the midst of it right now, I think. She's picked up an extra night feeding, and she's been cluster feeding from about 12-2 in the afternoon, and then again from about 9-1 at night for the past couple of days.
