I've heard there are typically growth spurts at 10 day, 3 weeks and 8 weeks. Is that correct? What other ones are typical? Did your LO hit them pretty much on time?

I think 3 weeks is a big one (from what I've read). And then there's the 3 month and 6 month one. I constantly think LO is going through a growth spurt but I think I'm just trying to give a reason to the unanswered questions I have. Right now, we're kind of dealing with sleep regression. LO is 8 months.

@Blueberry: Haaahhha, this is me. I try to blame everything on a Wonder Week or growth spurt.
But yeah, I've heard 3 month and 6 month ones--I also went by a 6 week and 10 week one, not an 8 week. Who knows?!

I think I read somewhere 10 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months were common growth spurt times. Soooo pretty much the first 3 months are a constant growth spurt. I remember LO nursing alllll day long those first few months and telling people she was in the middle of a growth spurt, and they were always like "did she JUST have growth spurt??"

I just had a lactation appointment today and she said there is a growth spurt at 8-14 days and another around 21 days old. Don't know past that!

@Blueberry: @ms.janedoe: @NovBaby1112: So is the 3-month growth spurt really at 12 weeks?
We are at 11.5 weeks and I'm pretty sure we are hitting something - LO won't nap much at all during the day, wants to nurse all the time and is super cranky. Wonder Week timeline says the next leap is still a week out, but I fell like we hit the second one a week early too.

@stine_ciro: Doesn't WW leap 3 start at 11.5 weeks? I always go by 4 week months...12 weeks = 3 months. Again, not side what the rules are!

@stine_ciro: wonder weeks also go by due date not by birth date. Sounds to me like wonder week signs!
