Developmental Stages/ Growth Spurts & Sleep
« on: November 08, 2012, 09:49:25 am »
Hi - in a number of threads there are references to growth spurts and developmental stages which often have a neg impact to a babys nap/ sleep routine. Are these outlined in a thread or FAQ somewhere (I did check but couldn't find) as would like to know when to expect these to happen.

Thanks for your help

A lot of people notice extra fussiness around particular times when babies are going through mental leaps - there's some information here: http://www.thewonderweeks.com/

How old is your LO?  Growth spurts are very frequent in the early days and there are big ones at around 4 months and 6 months too.
