How many growth spurts should my baby have between 3 and 8 months?
While it is true that babies are constantly growing, there are certain times when babies have growth spurts. Typically, there is a growth spurt around 3 months and another around 6 months. Since every baby is different, the growth spurt may come earlier or later than the average, or you may even notice and extra growth spurt between the two. Babies react different ways to growth spurts. Below is a list of possible “symptoms”: -sleeping more -sleeping less -fussy -eating a lot more (nursing constantly or taking more formula than usual) Growth spurts usually last between 4 and 7 days. It is also important to remember that babies may display the above symptoms when they are getting ready to master a physical or mental milestone (e. crawling or babbling).
