daft question from first time mum

[alux]

When the books say a growth spurt at 6 weeks, do they mean A. after the start of six weeks (42 day)?
or
B) completed 5 wks and now in the sixth week of life.

Is my overanalysis showing?

i think it's pretty flexible alux! it's just around 6 weeks-ish

Six weeks means at age 6 weeks, as far as I'm aware.

Ahh,bless you for being so concerned alux!!!

Never understood all that stuff myself,and even more confused second time around.

Ditto teething. I swear,one day I looked in dd's mouth and there was a full set!

i d give or take a week, both my children were in and around those growth spurt markings but never right on

aaahhh, thanks for the responses. babies aren't made to measure (must remind myself, must remind myself.)

I can't remember if DS had a growth spurt at 6 weeks or not .

To be honest, whenever he seemed to want to feed more often, I would assume it was a growth spurt and then I didn't worry about it too much .

Never saw any of these growth spurt jobbies myself. I wouldn't read too much into it if I were you. Just go with the flow. I take it you are b/feeding and expecting an increase in demand?
