Growth spurt?

Question

My LB is 17 days old today. He has slept a lot  between feeds and feeds have been super long. (I breastfeed) He also seems a little fussy this evening. Could it be a growth spurt?

Answer

When my baby was 3 weeks he hit a growth spurt and cluster fed in the evenings. If he wasn’t attached to my boob then he was crying or sleeping. Pacifiers didn’t help gas drops I thought it was something awful but the doctor said it’s completely normal. He still cluster feeds every once in a while and he’s 4 weeks but it’s fine

Answer

Babies tend to eat more and more for the first few months. A lot of them cluster feed (eat several times close together) in the evenings. And the fussiness can be anything from hunger to gas to just wanting to lay a different way.
