Growth Spurts

[nickymorris]

Just hit the 12 week growth spurt. Can someone remind me when I should expect the next one... Want to be better prepared next time....

oh both my dc's growth spurts were all over the place! I never really had the "usual" growth spurts, they just had them randomly!

I think 3, 6 and 12 weeks are the ones that seem fairly common and tend to catch you by surprise! After that I haven't heard them consistently discussed... but around 4+ months lots of people seem to find their babies start to wake more at night - so they start thinking about solids. In fact this is probably the next "growth spurt" and is usually more-or-less resolved by like the earlier growth spurts, by giving milk as frequently as they want it. The sort of solids you can start with don't fill them up as much as milk.
