6 week old growth spurt?
-
My newborn is 6.5 weeks old, and was starting to get a solid 4.5/5 hour stretch of sleep, but when he hit 6 weeks old, he suddenly was waking every 3 hours super hungry and eating more than he has before. Thinking he is growing but wondering if anyone else dealt with this and if so, how long it lasted/tips?? From a tired mama.

Are you still on a newborn nipple? If so, go up in nipple size so he can get through the bottle faster. He may be hungrier and the slower nipple isn't working. The best advice I got was to try to fit majority of your feedings in the day time, and then if they were a really hungry baby to also do a dream feed (essentially you don't unswaddle them and wake them up around 9/10 and give them a bottle in their sleep). @SnoozeBabyCo will probably have good advice as well!
