6 week growth spurt?

[SassyPants87]

DS is 6 weeks tomorrow and has been asleep all day! I’ve been waking him every 3 hours for a feed but he’ll drink a little and knock back out again! He isn’t normally like this and is usually has more awake periods. Could this be 6 week growth spurt and he just needs the extra sleep right now?

Could be. I would check is he having wet/dirty nappies as normal, and does he have any temperature or rash or anything?

There’s lots happening around the 6 week mark - it could well be a growth spurt as tiredness is a common symptom of one. As long as no fever, he’s feeding well and he is otherwise himself, enjoy the extra peace and quiet!
