Does this sound like a growth spurt?

Ds will be 11 weeks on Sunday. He was going up to 5 hours between bfs at night, but the last two nights has woken me every 2 hours for a feed. Today he's been awake all day just seeming to want to bf all the time. Couldn't go out for very long because he wouldn't settle in his pram whereas usually he falls fast asleep.

Usually I wouldn't mind.. I'd love any excuse to park up on the sofa all day with magazines and trashy telly. I can kind of handle the sleep deprivation too. But I have dd, who is two years old and wakes for the day at about 5.30 and then obviously needs entertaining and stimulating for about 13 hours.

Please can someone tell me this sounds like a growth spurt and will be over in a few days, and it's not how things are going to be from now on.

Yes i think we are growth spurt twins. My DD was irritable, fussy and feeding like a piranha for about 4 days. There went my 5 hour stretches at night. She seems to be settling down now but is still waking up more often at night to feed (luckily goes straight back to sleep after winding).
