7 weeks today. fussy and won't nap. growth spurt or???

Question

Hi everyone. Ok so my 7 week old was napping well now he's only napping 1/2 hour here and there and is super fussy and cranky. He needs to be held all the time walked around the house or fed in order to be calm. I end up feeding him every 1-2 hours because he won't calm down. Sometimes he'll eat for  5 minutes and pass out- until I put him down then he wakes up super fussy! And normally he's super super great & happy. Is this a growth spurt or just what happens??? I'm a first time mom and am feeling like I'm doing something wrong.... last week had no problem smoothing him and now nothing is working. Advice, suggestions, feedback welcome!

Thanhs in advance.

Answer

I posted about the exact same problems I was having with my seven week old the other day lol, and it's a growth spurt/mental leap. Someone recommended I download the app called Wonder Weeks. It's $2 but well worth it, I'd definitely recommend you get it! It tells you all about the changes your baby is experiencing, the signs, how long the leap lasts for, when to expect the next one, and tips on how to get through them easier. Now I understand what my baby's going through I feel so much better and feel like I can actually help her instead of getting frustrated at how clingy and cranky she is 😖

My 10 week old is doing the same thing. He will be 10 weeks Friday. Fussy every evening. Not content just content on my boob. And sleeps no problem on the boob. Currently sucking away asleep and treating my nipple like a baby calf would on a cow!

Answer

Growth spurt for sure! I read about wonder weeks and it made all of it so much easier!

Answer

It's a developmental leap. My 8 week old did that last week. It lasted 3 days for us.
