12 week growth spurt
« on: March 11, 2009, 16:26:20 pm »
Hi

I think my 12 week old LO is going through a growth spurt because he seems to be giving his hungry cues every 2 hours instead of his usual 3 hours. Should I go back to 2 hours for the next couple of days, or should I try to hold out the full 3 hours?

Thanks

I would feed her until the growth spurt is over. It should only last a few days.  :)
