Can anyone tell me how their children behaved during the infant growth spurts? My daughter is 3 months and eating like a pig. Two different people who saw her last Friday commented on Monday that she looked bigger! And she is, she gained a pound over the weekend, but looks thinner. She was crankier over the weekend, and she also slept alot. She had been sleeping 8PM to 6AM for about a week until the weekend. Now she's waking one or two times a night and really frantic for her bottle. How long does this last? I would really like to sleep again....

Sure sounds like a typical growth spurt to me. I was nursing my
daughter and found it a little difficult, but luckily the "spurt" slows
down and you get back to normal...whatever that is!
How long has this lasted? More than a few days?

It started about Friday, I guess. Today's Wednesday and I think she's starting to slow down. Her mood has improved and she wasn't as frantic at 4:30AM as she has been.... | |||||

My son was born the 24th day of the month. Invariably the first 6
months, by the 24-30 day of each month he seemed to have a growth
spurt. Sometimes it would last a day or two, sometimes a whole week. I
can remember a full weekend at 8 weeks old when I nursed every 2 hours
around the clock.
At 2 1/2, he still has times where he eats more food than 3 people
together, and then other times he eats like a bird.

Can't add too much to the infant growth spurt information. Your
episodes sound very typical.
The problems I had with my sons were when they were older. At age
10, each of them was in the lower 5 percentile for height and weight.
Docs all said that they would just be small adults. For 3 years
running, each child grew over 4 inches, and put on the pounds! Today,
while they are not giants, they are both almost 6 feet tall and quite
robust as well (they are now ages 15 and 17). The older one did
develop Osgood Schlatter's disease, but is now recovered.
Both are bottomless pits when it comes to eating - an infant spurt
carried over to puberty?
