Lo is 12.5 weeks and for the past 5 days has been taking 20 min naps when she normally takes 2 hr naps and waking every 2 hours at night for the past 5 nights for feedings....I am exhausted! Feeling like there is no end in sight and I go back to work Fri....anyone elsegoing thru this?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-256301 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 20:01:37 +0000 winniebee 256301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.M57: lol well we are on day 5! Ge ate more today than ever in his life. We got one good 2 hr nap out of him thank god but basically he is still doing power naps. We were on vaca this past week and I'm worried about handling him alone whenDH goes back to work tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-256266 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 19:22:30 +0000 Mrs.M57 256266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just ended for us, I hate to scare you, but I swear ours lasted like 2 weeks! Horrible sleep and waking up every 1-2 hours overnight :-( but Lily is back to normal sleep and naps now as well as a more normal eating schedule! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-256244 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 18:36:07 +0000 pastemoo 256244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Ugh. What a huge bummer! Spit up makes me sad--for both of us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-256047 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 11:26:47 +0000 Boogs 256047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every time my LO went through one it lasted a week or two. I hope T's passes quickly, I know how brutal they can be so I feel for ya! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255987 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 10:03:07 +0000 cvbee 255987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I didn't notice an eating or sleeping change but boy oh boy did I notice the beginning of the spit-up monster at 12 weeks!!! Now at 16 weeks, the sleep is changing....not sure if it is a later 3 month growth spurt or the '4 month sleep regression' starting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255967 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 09:40:56 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 255967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through it too. She was sleeping okay (but only after a good dose of Tylenol cuz she is teething like crazy and has a constant fever). For two days she ate every two hours...and now she is back to every four. My boobs are extra full now though...so it is super annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255966 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 09:29:19 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 255966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: well it make sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255965 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 09:25:36 +0000 winniebee 255965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: Apparently they eat more because their body says it wants the calories, but their tummies can't handle it yet...so they spit up more. Or something like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255942 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 08:50:31 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 255942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: oh really?! I had no idea. sienna has been waking up more at night to eat so there's a possibility that I'm also in the growth spurt stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255929 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 08:18:46 +0000 winniebee 255929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mom2b2agirl: LOL yes there is one! </p> <p>@c.sassy: What is it with the napping?! Or, lack thereof.</p> <p>@pastemoo: Oh GOOD for more sleep (but not for the crazy eating).</p> <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: I read this happens during the growth spurt too. </p> <p>@bpcmarj: Thank god DH has been home or else I might have left T on the back porch in a basket with a note yesterday...</p> <p>@zippylef: TWO weeks? Oh no. I can't do this for 2 weeks!</p> <p>Last night was better. We all went to bed at 9:30 and he slept til 2:30 (no wakeup after initial put down) and then from 3-7:15. He ate an extra 1/2 ounce during both of those feedings (he eats bottles of pumped milk only). This morning I put him down at 8:20 per our usual routine after his first morning wake and he went down fine and 1 hour later is still sleeping. Hoping we had a SHORT growth spurt, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255876 Sun, 12 Aug 2012 01:51:31 +0000 loveisstrange 255876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The 3 month one was brutal for us. Charlotte was the same way, fighting sleep. It lasted a good 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255869 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 23:21:00 +0000 bpcmarj 255869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunglasses: Penny was like that for a couple of days last week. Spitting up nearly everything she ate, but nuring all day long. It was frustrating because I felt like there was nothing left for her because she ate all day.</p> <p>@winniebee: She went through it last week. Very brief naps, where I couldn't put her down and waking every 2 hours at night. It luckily only lasted for a couple days, but it was brutal. I got next to nothing done those days because she just wanted to be held and fed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255862 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 22:48:23 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 255862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope it gets better. But ya, it's probably a growth spurt or the start of one. Sienna has been spitting up so much more today and wants to feed all the time (but she spits it up) dilemma. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255859 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 22:39:33 +0000 pastemoo 255859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just started it today, oh, my poor poor boobies!<br /> However, night sleep is BETTER (for me)--no more 5 hour stretch but he will go to sleep again after the 3 hours. 6 separated hours is better than only 5 hours even if they are in a row.</p> <p>I hope he grows quickly and gets back to his regular schedule! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255844 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 21:44:18 +0000 Weagle 255844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours has been a little crazy too. Night sleep has been the same, but naps are way out of whack and she's eating SO MUCH! I'm basically throwing her to DH with a bottle when he gets home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255803 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 18:51:50 +0000 mom2b2agirl 255803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Theres a 12 week growth spurt???? LO is 13 weeks and 1 day and has been eating every 2 hours. It takes her a while to eat and burp so i have been feeling like we have been feeding all day lately! When does this spurt end? LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255772 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 16:26:34 +0000 winniebee 255772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: at night, yes. During the day not really - he is still eating every 2-3 hours. He is usually a good napper and this is just crazy. Weve tried everything today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255770 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 16:19:50 +0000 mediagirl 255770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: awww! Does he seem hungrier, too? I hope he gets through this quickly!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-12-week-growth-spurt#post-255763 Sat, 11 Aug 2012 15:58:13 +0000 winniebee 255763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or, at least I think so....</p> <p>T is 12w and a few days and for the past 3 days is totally refusing afternoon and evening naps. He has been up since 630 (up every 2-3 hour to eat lat night whereas he normally sleeps 5-6 hours) and has taken one 1 hour nap and one 45 min nap that he woke up twice during. He is not fussy while awake - only when we try to get him down. We have tried 3 tunes this afternoon and he wakes up 15 mins later and won't go back down. </p> <p>So how bad was the 12w spurt for your LO and how long did it last? The other ones have not been as bad for us. </p>
