Stated early around ten weeks, lasted until almost 14 weeks. If you believe in Wonder Weeks, they can pretty much stretch +/-2 weeks (or more!) So they can conveniently end one WW and start another. Siiiiiigh. Good luck to you, too! Hope it ends soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1793394 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 00:57:18 +0000 ellewoods84 1793394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: doesn't it blow? I mean how long does this last?!? My daughter is 13 weeks now and this is now night 6 of her staying awake for 3 hours in the middle of the night. Ughhhh. I have only gotten 4 hours of sleep a night the past 6 days and it's really taking a toll on me! And that 4 hours is broken up! Boo. Good luck to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1793391 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 00:50:24 +0000 HabesBabe 1793391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG I completely forgot about this stage... H is nearing 11 weeks and has been waking up more than usual in MOTN the past few days. Ugh C's 12 week growth spurt SUCKED so I am not looking forward to this at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1791999 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 12:43:41 +0000 ellewoods84 1791999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gilmoregirl: wow, that sounds fantastic. There is hope I guess!! Thank goodness. I don't think my daughter is going to enjoy belly sleeping...but maybe? She HATES tummy time with a passion, like epic meltdown hates it. But we shall see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1788376 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 06:37:59 +0000 gilmoregirl 1788376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: he didn't do more than three hours the first time we switched and his naps were 17 minutes. But this time he's doubled both and we can get a 6 hour stretch plus a 30 min nap. He usually sleeps 50 mins for the first nap. </p> <p>So there is totally hope! For both of us! My guy learned to belly sleep last night and was so much less annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1788241 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 22:02:23 +0000 Anagram 1788241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ellewoods84: 3 months was a rough period for us, sleep wise. I think our girl started her "4 month sleep regression" early and it didn't really get better for a long time. Like, she was sleeping bettter at 1.5 months than she was as an 8 month old.</p> <p>Good news is, these days (she just turned 1) she finally sleeps slightly better, so whether it happens to you at 4 months, or 6 months, or 1 year, or 2 years...your LO will get there eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1788129 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 20:38:42 +0000 ellewoods84 1788129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>!!!!omg! Babies are crazy! Well that gives me hope. We try the crib every night for the first stretch. The longest she has made it was 2.5 hours. Wow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1787829 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:54:29 +0000 gilmoregirl 1787829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, ugh, he rolled over in the swing (!!!!) so it was cold turkey. It's going ok. Not great but ok. Waaaay better than when we tried at 2.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1787383 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:37:05 +0000 ellewoods84 1787383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gilmoregirl: Well, at least it was short lived! I am hoping the same for me. She will be 13 weeks tomorrow....hopefully a magical light bulb will go off and say, oh you are older! no need for this nonsense little one! lol. yeah right. and I am sorry about the 2 hour wake ups. I am sure he will figure it out soon and start sleeping much better. but, since he is rolling, that must mean he's out of the swing?? hooray for you! we are still swinging....boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1786982 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:22:55 +0000 gilmoregirl 1786982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little guy was pretty crazy at 11-12 weeks and I think settled pretty quickly but it was short-lived (sorry). He's been learning to roll and last night screamed every two hours when he found himself on his belly and didn't like it. Which is ridic because he's obsessed with rolling to his belly during the day. Hoping he figures it out soon because UGH. Fingers crossed things let up for both of us soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1786853 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 10:30:25 +0000 ellewoods84 1786853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: yeah I have tried having her sleep with me in my desperate moment but she won't sleep like period. No matter where she is. It sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1786593 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:02:11 +0000 catomd00 1786593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you comfortable b ringing her into your bed with you? That's what gets us through the occasional rough night, especially when my husband is traveling! I read that 3 nights in a row of something starts a new habit, though, so I never do it more than 2 times in a row! I suffer the third night.</p> <p>This to shall pass! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1786520 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 08:39:47 +0000 ellewoods84 1786520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: wow' how is that possible! And we are definitely dealing with the sleep refusal. But you are awesome for doing it with 2, go mama! I can barely handle her! I am so hoping this passes quickly for us!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1786181 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 02:07:11 +0000 twodoghouse 1786181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My twins (12 weeks) are going through a major growth spurt too! Yesterday they ate 4 times between 6 am and 10 am. How is that even possible! And they both refused to nap until they got do exhausted they fell asleep on me for an hour. They had previously been doing awesome with a daytime nap schedule so I'm just hoping we can get back into the routine once they're out of this growth spurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/12-week-growth-spurt-is-for-the-birds-ugh#post-1786146 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 00:03:03 +0000 ellewoods84 1786146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This 12 week/3 month growth spurt SUCKS. This post is really just me venting, so sorry in advance! I am so ready for this to be over. My daughter has always thought sleep is for the weak, and mostly was waking 2 or 3 times a night anyways and taking crap naps during the day. BUT now her new favorite thing is to trick mom and dad by going to sleep around 8-9 with no problems but then waking around 1030 or 11. Okay cool, time to eat. But instead of going back to sleep, girlfriend is up til 2-3 in the morning. Fussing and crying and so tired but she will not sleep. She has done this for the past 3 nights and tonight it's happening again! Whyyyyyyyy. I am so over this growth spurt and so is she! And to make matters worse, my husband is traveling this week. Poo. Okay, so that's my rant. This growth spurt is the WORST! I am tired. Oh and this better be a growth spurt and not some new way of life for her because well, just no. </p>
