22 weeks growth spurt?

Question

Is that a thing? My LO is eating every 2 hours even after a pablum feed (which normally holds her off for awhile). She used to go every 3-4 hours during regular formula feeds. I just upped her formula to 5 ounces a week or so ago and everything was fine. Now she’s almost inconsolable and never wants to be put down. Are any other beautiful mamas experiencing this? I feel like I’m going crazy!!

Answer

Could be a good indication to start solids. I never rushed the solids with my girl, but she just wouldn’t stay filled up after 6-7oz. Pediatrician said try solids again (she had NO interest until last week, born 8/7/17). No she grabs at all my food and cries until I give her solids. She’s only had sweet potatoes and oatmeal, carrots, and bananas. Only likes sweet potatoes and carrots for now, but she will finally seem “full”. I give her 4-6iz milk first, then 1 ice cube servings worth of solids 1-2x a day. Seemed to do the trick. Your LO could also be teething and finds eating soothing. My LO finds eating to be soothing no matter the cause of her pain/discomfort 😂
