Is what the say true

[Retromama008]

Thought I would do a thread to see if what the books/midwives/HV say about growth spurts, Mile stones, sleep regression is true. When did your baby have them and did they follow what is said??

I don't know how qualified I am to answer as the princess is only 13 wks old, but so far she has hit every growth spurt/wonder week exactly. The six wk growth spurt nearly killed me! She has just finished her 12 wk wonder week which she started by sleeping for hours on end and finished up by being much better at grasping things. I was skeptical about babies following such a predictable time-frame as everything else seems to be so individual, but so far it really does seem to be true.

DS pretty much did all of them for the first year!

I have 3 dcs and I never really noticed them in the way that the books say, but then I was fairly laid back and feeding on demand, so a bit more or less food either way didn't notice that much.

Same as Steppe. I didn't notice anything as I was quite laid back. Maybe the occasionally grumpy day but not in line with anything else.
