I wonder if my 3 week old is going through a growth spurt, unbelievably as he hasn't stopped growing since day 1, he was 7lb10 born, 8lb12 after 10 days, but for the last 2 days if he has been awake he is feeding! He hasn't been weighed for over a week, so we tried weighing ourselves on home scales without then with him and after double checking with both of us he came out as 10lbs!! So he put on all this weight from feeding every 3 hours, nothing excessive so if this is now a growth spurt on top of that then goodness knows what he'll weigh by Weds at the next weigh in, but now he won't settle, is really fussy, worried I was over feeding him but every website says you can't and they described DS to a tea for going through a growth spurt, any experience anyone?
