Growth spurt?

4 replies

MamaPingu · 30/09/2013 11:02

My baby has been having 5oz bottles really regularly from about 2 weeks old. Now at 3.5 weeks he's having 4-5oz every 1-2 hours!
How long do growth spurts typically last?
I can't tell if it's a growth spurt or if this feeding habit will probably be here to stay?

Mine got the munchies at three weeks for about three days, then all of a sudden couldn't fit into her newborn clothes any more. How long has yours been asking for extra?

Ah right! He has just grown out of his newborn clothes too Smile

I'd say maybe 5 days now!

the last 2 weeks my ds has been demanding 4-6oz every 2-3hours. He is 5weeks today and has took a 6oz every 3.5-4hours so fingers crossed hes turned a corner!

Fingers crossed for you! Smile
Have you noticed a lot of growth?

I can't believe my little boy is still feeding so much haha. I could see his toes had ran out of room in his sleep suits all of a sudden! Hoping he will be done soon, I would like to sleep one day Grin
