Did You Know:
Growth spurts can start
as early as 10 days after your baby’s birth. Growth spurts usually
are preceded by a sleepy, lethargic day and a big jump in appetite.
Growth spurts may happen again at 3, 6, and 12 weeks and again at 4 and 6
months. If you begin to notice that your child is not as satisfied
with the amount that you have been feeding her previously, then she may be
beginning a growth spurt period. If you are breastfeeding, you may
want to add a feeding or two to satiate your baby’s appetite and to help
increase milk
production.
