Other mums experiencing this?
My son is 12.5 weeks and is (I suspect) going through his 12 week growth spurt. When we went to our 2 month vaccinations, the nurse asked me how often he eats. On a regular basis he eats every 2 hours. He's almost 14 lbs. The nurse gave me a stern "tisk tisk" but didn't mention much else other than that he's in the 85th percentile...
Now that he's in his growth spurt, he's eating roughly every hour and is so cranky that trying to keep to at least every 2 hours is out of the question. He will scream and root until I feed him (I believe he should be fed on demand. Why force him to wait if he's hungry now?). I've tried his Wubbanub, rocking, singing and moving but he just wants to eat. I'm getting super discouraged because when I look up growth spurts, every mom says their baby slept for 5-6 hours a night between feeds before the growth spurt... I'm lucky if he sleeps for 3 at night.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong regardless of the fact he's happy and healthy.
Any other mums have babies not sleeping long stretches at night and are feeding lots??
Here's my little chunky monkey 🙈
