Growth Spurt? Cold? What's going on?

So DS is 9wko and for the past week or so has been decidedly "off"
He hasn't been one for naps generally but I always managed to get him down for one eventually. Now, he's not sleeping during the day unless I employ the buggy tactic. He seems very on edge and fidgety (perhaps because he's overtired). His night sleeping is also much more disturbed - woke at 1am and we couldn't get him down for 3.5 hours.
His feeding is also much more frequent and frenetic - he's getting frustrated at the flow more regularly etc.
I wondered if I could attribute this to a growth spurt or not? He has caught my cold, but that has only just come out today- ie. no symptoms have been disturbing him, preventing sleep.
Sigh - I thought growth spurts and/or colds made them sleep more? And going on for a week - does this make sense to anyone else?

No, a growth spurt will make your DS feed more. But your supply will take a few days to adapt.
Hope he's more settled tomorrow.
