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.

One side effect of trauma is that people may withdraw in an effort to deal with their tragedy. Experts suggest that re-establishing social connections and getting back into a previous daily routine will help people put the tragedy in perspective. That process of getting on with life can also help to normalize problem sleep caused by the trauma.
