Does anyone know if there is a growth spurt around 17/18 weeks? I just can't fill my formula fed baby enough. He was taking 7oz bottles every 4-5hrs now I'm feeding 5oz every 2hrs (so more milk overall). 2 weeks ago he was rejecting feeds and suddenly earlier this week BAM he's constantly wanting feeds. I can't even get him to nap without him waking hungry. Needless to say he's up at night. Last night he had 11oz before bed, woke 3hrs later and had 10oz, took ages to settle (back down at midnight), then he woke at 4.30 for 4oz..That's 25oz in one night! It's wearing me out!
