She was very fussy for a few days, but the main thing was her feeding increased dramatically. She was nursing non stop. It lasted less than a week, and then she started sttn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/six-week-growth-spurt#post-1107278 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:14:52 +0000 Smurfette 1107278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember her sleep being messed up, but just she ate all the time for a couple days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/six-week-growth-spurt#post-1107256 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:10:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 1107256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: pretty much all of this. It was either extra sleep or no sleep. And she always eats a lot but it was maybe a little more in the evenings. Our worst day ever was te day she turned 7 weeks- we were both crying by the time she went to bed. It's been much better since then and she started occasionally STTN. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/six-week-growth-spurt#post-1107170 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:41:13 +0000 lawbee11 1107170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just went through ours. I think it lasted 4 or 5 days. It was really random--some days she would sleep way more than normal and other days I couldn't get her to nap longer than 30 minutes at a time. She was also fussier than usual. She's always eaten a lot (and often) so that wasn't anything out of the ordinary for us. The past two nights have been awesome (long stretches and only one wake up), so I am hoping we're done with it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/six-week-growth-spurt#post-1107145 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 09:35:46 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1107145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Talk to me about your baby's six-week growth spurt/fussy period. How long did it last? Was baby sleepier than normal, or awake ALL the time? Any sudden issues with feeding (crying at the breast, etc)? </p> <p>Honestly, I'm just struggling through it at this point, and am interested in other people's experiences. </p>
