Title: Is there a 4mo old growth spurt??
Post by: mstormin on October 20, 2005, 13:28:12 pm

I always thought there was a 3mo & 6mo growth spurt, but not a 4mo spurt...

DS has been sleeping pretty good at night since around 11wks, then the past 2 nights he's been waking before his DF at 10pm, then again at 2:45 & 6:30am (usually wakes at 7:30-8am).  He's 17wks & weighs over 16lbs.
I've tried popping the paci in, changing his diaper & rocking back to sleep but he just has a fit until I give in and feed him.  I'm worried about this setting up a habit.

Any advice?
TIA!

Hiya

I would also like to know the answer to that.  Savannah was going about 10-11 hours at a time from 7pm onwards, and for the past 3-4 days has been having d/f at 10.30 then waking at 2.30 and 6.30 for a feed, she is 18wks old and weigh 15lb 2oz.  Started her on rice and veg puree 10 days ago, but hasn't made a differance to sleep even though she loves it!!!!!

thanks :D

My lo did, it lasted for about 3 days.  She was a terrible napper and sleeper for the previous 3 days all the way through her growth spurt last week.  Now I can't keep her awake.
