I have heard (not necessarily from a reliable source) that babies always
sleep more during growth spurts.
Something to do with the nutrition being used more for growth than for
moving and doing awake things.
Having said this, I didn't notice my DD sleeping more during her growth
spurts. That was maybe because she kept waking up due to hunger.
