Baby growth spurt???

[Chloejaye96]

My little boy will be three weeks on Wednesday, for the past two days he has been settling for two hours then wanting milk but much more then usual and really screaming for it which is unusual. He's a very sicky baby but I've been feeding on demand and he's been keeping it down. Is this just a growth spurt?!?! Do they have them at 3 weeks old 😶 Thanks in advance x

From memory yes I think at that young ds growth spurted all the time!!

Yes 3 weeks was really intense for me - DS did marathon cluster feeds and I felt like all I did was feed! It was really hard work. It did pass though. Keep hydrated, make sure you're eating and rest when you can. You could express or get some formula so someone else can do a feed or two for you if you need a break. DS was also very sicky but gained weight like a champ and had good nappy output so as long as your baby is healthy and happy overall I wouldn't worry. The sick very much lessened at about 3 months (to be replaced by constant drooling)! Sounds like you're doing a fab job, take care.

Aww thank you very much!! Really helpful thank you x

OH god the drooling. We’re going through that not. Ds is 3.5 months. He’s also found his voice....which was cute....
