Growth spurt

I have a 3 week old baby girl, think she is going through a growth spurt. Feeding more than usual, sleeping less and doesn't want to be put down. Any tips? I got 3 hours sleep last night, managed a nap this afternoon but not sure I can cope with only 3 hours a night. Does it get easier? If so when? Thanks

Yes there’s definitely a growth spurt between 2 and 3 weeks. I don’t think the heat helps either as I’ve woken a couple of times in the night for a drink.

And yes, it does get better Smile

Have you found the Infant Feeding Section yet? There’s usually lots of MNers going through a similar thing and lots of helpful advice.
