Is it normal for babies to be extra needy when they're going through a growth spurt? I think that's what's going on anyway he's wanting feeding more, he's restless and fighting his sleep a lot but he's kicking off every time I put him down the only time he settles is when he's in my arms I'm bloody knackered 😶

Yeah midwife told me he would be like that during a growth spurt! Xx

@laurabump27 has Charlie been the same recently? He's normally really quiet and has a routine but these past 2 days have been an utter nightmare I've not had a minute to myself apart from when my boyfriend got back from work yesterday I almost threw him the baby so I could have a bath 😂 xx

Yep she said it happens between about 2-4 weeks and that they will be extra fussy hungry more and fidgety! Think Charlie is having his too now or the back end of one! It's only meant to last a few days! But yea Hun that's exactly what it will be. My baths are like 30 seconds long lol! Xx

@laurabump27 oh I hope it comes to an end soon then he's cracking me up i don't know where he's putting all this milk 😯 my baths are the same too 😂! Even when he's with his Dad as soon as he starts whinging I'm straight out I have to make a plan in advance to wash my hair nowadays 😂 xx
Laura·
Yep for the first time ever I'm using dry shampoo as it's impossible to wash hair most of the time! Lol how much does your little one eat normally! I'm not sure if Charlie is having enough or having too much! But yeah when their having a growth spurt it's constant! Xx

@laurabump27 I need get some of that too 😂 he has about 3oz every 3 hours usually and then through the night he has 4oz every 3-4 hours but sometimes we have to make him a couple of extra 2oz bottles during the day when he gets hungry again, these last 2 nights though he's been waking every 2 hours for a bottle xx

He may be cluster feeding. Seems needy but they just feed endlessly in the evenings during a growth spurt. Literally for a few hours he'd be attached to the boob. Would sit back and watch a movie. Miss those times tbh lol.
