Hi.My ff DS is 11 weeks old, and I think he's going through another growth spurt. He's upped his intake of milk from x 4 feeds of 6-7oz + dreamfeed of 4oz to 4 feeds of 8-8.5oz + dreamfeed of 4-5oz, taking him from an average of 30oz/day to closer to 35oz/day. He weighs 14lb6oz.
The question is this. He always has a struggle with sleep during the day. He fights it, and he regularly takes naps of 45mins at a time, and stays up for about two hours at a time, however over the last couple of days as his food intake has increased dramatically, he wants to sleep all the time, and he slept for 5 hours during the day yesterday (one 2.5 hour chunk!! plus naps!!), and 4.5 hours the day before. It's not affecting his nightime sleep. He goes down at 18:00 - 18:30, and sleeps until 06:30-07:00 with a feed in his sleep at 10pm (this takes no longer than 30 minutes).
Has anyone experienced sleepier babies during growth spurts?
Thanks! Sarah
