6 week growth spurt

My dd is going through her 6 week growth spurt and is really unsettled. I'm trying to feed her each time she is upset/grizzling but sometimes she's so frustrated that she won't latch on. How did you get through these growth spurt periods and settled your baby? Any tips would be great!

I think growth spurts are so tough!

Sounds like you are doing all the right things. White noise (I downloaded a free app) seemed to calm DD down when she got too frustrated to latch.

Make sure you don't overwhelm yourself with too much stuff to do, try to take it as easy as you can. I used to plan to do one thing each day, even if that was just having a shower before DH went to work Smile

Agree white noise could work if she's unsettled, also have a google of youtube Richard and Judy Happiest Baby.

There is also some useful info on kellymom.

Have you got something to watch or read? Can you get yourself set up on the sofa with a drink and a good supply of snacks, a phone, Mn and the remote?
