Please tell me it's normal to have a "growth spurt" at 5 months as well as at 4 months........

[TheQueenOfQuotes]

as DS3 didn't really lower his milk intake after his 4 months growth spurt - and has just upped it again - 44oz from 5am this morning until 8.15 tonight......yesterday I think it was around 40oz too (I know he had 22oz between 4-8pm)..

Please please please tell me this is just going to be a short term thing????

Yes. Feel better?

not sure about the milk intake as i bf but dd definately had a growth spurt at abou 5m. Don't worry it won't be forever!

no - not really LOL - I've just realised that if I take the last 24hrs - his total milk intake was 52oz !

see the thing is I thought his 4 month growth spurt wasn't going to last forever......but he upped his milk intake at around 17 weeks and has maintained it ever since. I have visions of him maintaining this level of milk consumption until his next spurt....and upping it again, and again and again LOL.

[[whispers]] did anyone tell QofQ about the 6 month grow spurt???

PMSL gmm (oo that's my RL initials LOL) hopefully by then he'll be properly getting into his solids (already have a little now - one bite of a parsnip, one bite of carrot, one suck on a green bean and a flake of chicken for his dinner tonight LOL) and it won't be quite so noticable...............

Yep ds had 3 meals yesterday...went down at 7, woke at 11, 3, 5 and 7..... solids are great

ahh but GMM - DS3 is already sleeping through 8-5
