Growth spurt ?

My babygirl has been the same but she’s only 4 weeks as of Wednesday. Her feeding has been clustered but then 1 or 2 feeds she’ll eat like she’s starving . She dodges the nipple then gets it and barely eats before dozing off go to burp and lay her down she’s up within 30 mins or so.
Omg yes exactly the same thing as I’m experiencing down to the refusing the nipple but screaming like she wants food 😭 I’ve been so overwhelmed by it because I feel like I had finally got a routine with her but just for this to put me back at square one
My baby had one at 4 weeks and 6 weeks. She eats so dang much though.
This is where I’m at! It started last week at 5 weeks and we’re 6 weeks today and he just criessss at the boob but is hungry (he breastfed so well since birth) and Is so fussy. Hes been easy so far so I’m curious if this is the growth spurt they talk about
@Natasha after reading these comments now I feel like that’s 100% what we’re going through 🥲
Same, we'll be 6 weeks in an hr . And screaming bloody m-word.
Ok following. My baby will be 6 weeks Friday and shes the same. I hope it's a growth spurt bc her doctor wants her to gain more weight faster! Following your post
This makes me feel so much better knowing I’m not alone. I finally felt like he was sleeping well to wake for feedings and going right back down but last night was a mess! He would only latch for about 1 minute and then start crying even though he was giving hunger cues! Happened before a few weeks ago as well and seems to only happen at night. I did the same thing and checked for fever but he doesn’t seem sick and no fever. He’s 6 weeks yesterday for reference.
Went through this week 5 to 6. He slept A LOT and ate A LOT. Like every hour in the night. If I remember it was less than a week of chaos and then settled back down. However at now 8.5 weeks I feel like we're doing it again because all he wants to do is eat. However we just switched to sensitivr formula so that could be it. Pretty sure they do have a growth spurt at 6 weeks. Also heard digestive tract kinda figures itself out around that time.
6w is also the time crying normally picks up
I’m with you, baby boy is more fussy.. and is eating less at a time and more cluster like feeding. Screams like he wants food but refuses the nipple frustrating. Following your post* you’re not alone!
