6 wk growth spurt?

Question

Anyone’s baby go through this? She’s been awake most of the time the past two days, and has been eating almost every 2 hours consistently (except for one or two feedings). I feel like her only consistent large chunk of sleep is from her middle of the night feeding until 5 or 6 am, so maybe 3 hours? How long do these spurts last?

Answer

Also, seems to want to eat more, but will also spit it up immediately after.

Answer

Mine too! She seems way too alert for a newborn (6 weeks tomorrow) during the day! I have been pumping after every nursing session bc she’s not getting enough from me. I went out with friends to see a movie. In the 3 hour stretch she took 9 ounces of expressed breast milk from my husband in a three hour period! Does that seem excessive? When she’s with me during the day, I nurse for 15-20 minutes and supplement with about 2 ounces from the bottle.

Answer

Thanks everyone- nice to know we’re not alone! She seems to be slowly getting past the spurt today, after 3 days of less sleep and more feedings. She slept more last night, and actually napped earlier today as well. She is still eating quite a bit though. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone else!

Answer

I am going through the EXACT same thing! She’s 5 weeks 5 days. She hasn’t napped at all for the  last two days and is of course having  bad nights.

Answer

My baby did this for 4 days or so she’s 7 weeks today and had been experiencing the same thing she would stay awake for upwards of 4.5 hours always fussy the whole time wanting to eat and only wanting to be with me but when she sleeps she would sleep well she’s getting over it better now but is still cranky and fussy in the evening starting around 6-9 then is Normal the rest of the day and night

Someone shared this infographic and I love it! So helpful

Answer

I think a few days each time . 6 weeks is a big one for brain and growth. Our last week was like that ( that was our 6 week )  and she’s evened out again already.

Answer

My baby is almost 5 weeks and has been acting like this today
