12 week growth spurt...

My LO will be 12 weeks this Friday and I've heard the 12 week growth spurt is a tough one...those have gone through this do you agree? What was your experience? Advice? Just prepping myself mentally :D. Especially since I go back to work Tuesday. Thanks!

Re: 12 week growth spurt...

  • DD wasn't any different that she was any other time she's had a growth spurt- she was a little cranky for a couple of days, ate like a bottomless pit for a couple of days, slept more for a couple of days, and then she was her normal sunny self again.

  • Thanks...I'm not stressing about it but was just curious if others agreed it is worse then previous growth spurts. I know every baby is different but it's nice hearing others stories because sometimes they are similar and why I love having these boards to go to

  • I'm smack cabin the middle of it; the sleeping is what is getting me - he was sttn, 5 hours, and now the longest I get out of him is 3 hrs and sometimes less than 1 hr.

  • DS's 12 week growth spurt lasted a few weeks. TBH, it was miserable. He barely ate, was super fussy, and it took 30 minutes plus to get him down for naps that only lasted 30 minutes. Getting him to bed was a full-on production. That's not to say your LO will be similar. But my mantra went from "Take it one day at at time" to "Take it one hour a time" to some days "I just need to get through this minute."
