I don't have any links, but anecdotally, the spurts are at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months, with small spurts in between. -- Anita -- |

I noticed the same thing with my girls in those first 6 months or so. They'd be up all day, eating all day, not napping, and making me nuts. They would do this for 3-4 days in a row. Just when I was about to tear out all my hair, they'd fall asleep, sleep mostly through the night, go back to sleep, wake up to eat and go back to sleep. For about 3-4 days. Enough to allow me to recover my sanity and get ready for the next growth spurt! -- Jamie Earth Angels: Taylor Marlys -- 01/03/03 Addison Grace -- 09/30/04 Check out the family! -- www.MyFamily.com, User ID: Clarkguest1, Password: Guest Become a member for free - go to Add Member to set up your own User ID and Password |

Given it's been a week, which sounds on the long side for a growth spurt, is
there anywhere you could go and have the latch checked and someone watch a feed, it's possible he's not latching on great and not taking in as much as he needs each feed, so then needs another feed sooner. Cheers Anne |

growth spurts
he's latching on fine but falls asleep after 10 mins. I have to change him
in the middle of feeding to wake him up !! Seems to have calmed down now. He's feeding 3 hourly today and sleeping in between. Any tips on getting baby to sleep in his cot and not on my belly or in his car seat.............only 2 places he#ll sleep right now !! "Anne Rogers" wrote in message . ..
