Is this a growth spurt?? (8 months)

[cockle84]

Hi, 8 month old loves her food and in the last 5 weeks has put on nearly 2lb's so way up in the centile chart. The health visitor said this was fine because she's not crawling yet so she won't be working it off. She also said she could be about to have a growth spurt (she's already between 75th and 91st line for height). Today she has been very sleepy, but not unwell with it. I've read that they can sleep a lot through a growth spurt so was just wondering if this is what has caused her to be sooooo tired today. Thanks

Could be a lot of things, teething can cause interrupted sleep which you wouldn't necessarily know about and obviously makes them drowsy. Bugs can make them sleepy too if they are incubating but not suffering yet.

Don't worry, it'll pass :)
