Growth spurt question

Sorry if this has been asked before: During your lo's growth spurts, how many oz did they consume when feeding more frequently? And also, were they super cranky/ needy?

Re: Growth spurt question

  • K goes up to 6 oz from 4 and yes he's very needy I can't even go to the bathroom without a melt down.
  • Loading the player...
  • But he also doesn't eat as frequently as many of the other LOs. He probably eats 7 times a day(and night)
  • LO has been beyond cranky since Saturday. Yesterday and today his crankiness has seemed have escalated. I thought he was going through a growth spurt last week bc he was eating every two hours around the clock. Now I'm thinking he's still in it bc he's wanting to eat every 1.5 during the day and crying/complaining if he isn't asleep. But here's the thing; every other feeding he'll eat his normal 3-4 oz, and then in the next he'll only eat 1 oz. Is that a normal growth spurt scenario?

    All bets are off during a growth spurt! Hope it gets better for you soon!

  • K will eat 2 in between a normal feeding. So he will eat 4 then about an hour later eat another 2. So to me it's normal but I am a FTM too. I would say as long as he's not spitting up it's fine.
  • :-S thanks ladies. Here's hoping tomorrow is a better day.
  • Right there with you thankfully from what I understand this is the last one for a while.

    Michael started his growth spurt yesterday. We are averaging 2.5-3ozs per hour with 20-30 minute naps here and there. He is super fussy and attached to me.
