| growth spurt - 12th week or 3rd month?
Hi mommies
I've read in most books saying babies normaly have growth spurt where they suddenly want to eat more per day than usual and this happens at around 6-8weeks and then the next one is 3-4mth...would like to ask if we count by month or weeks? My gal is now 12wks but if u count by month, she's not yet 3month....I'm always curious how do we calculate actually? She has been sleepg from 9-ish to 6-ish, and her last feed is usually ard 9pm and will last her to abt 6am. Today she suddenly woke up whimpering and crying..and rooting for my breast (I do TBF) at 1am!!. Latch her on and she suckle vigorously! Which prompted me to question if she is hvg a growth spurt since she is already 12wks old. I know the La Leche group supports feed on demand and there's nothing wrong in givng her the breast as and she she demands for it but I dont wish for her to rely on my breast to fall asleep and making it a habit.
Your views pls, thanks! |
