Coud this be a growth spurt? If so help!!
« on: February 18, 2011, 10:36:32 am »
Hi ladies, ds is 14weeks in a couple of days and I heard they go through a growth spurt around 4 months?! ( he was 2 weeks overdue).
He goes to sleep at 7, then I would usually dreamfeed him at 11 then he would wake up any time between 4 and 6am to feed again then start his day between 7 and 8.
He's been on a 3 hour easy since around 6weeks. Anyway, last night he feed at 7, woke up hungry for his dreamfeed at 10:30( he has never done this before), and then woke up at 2 had another bottle and then AGAIN at 5 for another bottle and fed again at 8am.
Could this be a growth spurt? He only wakes once in a night since he was 6weeks, I can't go back to that routine of feeding twice a night as I might go MAD!! hahaha
Another question is: On Tracey's book it says to give them an extra oz if they are going through growth spurts, but he won't take anymore than he usually takes (6oz) in one feed. Do you los take an extra ounce in their bottles if going through a growth spurt? If so, HOW???

Thanks all for help, this is my first post Lucas is my first baby I live in the UK with my husband but I'm originally from Brazil!!

Yes it could be - could also be time to transition to 4 hrly feeds.

Could you post his EASY routine so we can have a look? If the feeds are less frequent he may start taking more than 6oz at each feed as he will be hungrier.
