For the past few days Ava has been sleeping A LOT and today it's been the worst. She slept from 10 P.M. last night until 8 A.M. this morning and the only reason she didn't sleep any later is because I decided to wake her up. At 10 A.M. she went back down and slept from then till 12 P.M. (I woke her up again for a feed) and she went right back down. She slept 12:15 P.M. till 4:00 P.M. and I had to wake her again (I had errands to run and I had to bring her to my cousins so she could watch her for me). I fed her right before I left cus her last feeding was at 12 P.M. and she ate 4 OZ and fell back asleep in the car and at my cousins woke from her sleep right after I left (4:30 P.M.) and ate 4 more OZ and then I picked her up at 5:30 P.M. and as soon as we got home which was at 5:45 P.M. she ate another 4 OZ and played for an hour and a half and is now out like a light.

She has no fever (I've been checking all day long) and is smiling/laughing/cooing/happy and is pooing normally (had 3 BM's today). So I'm guessing this is a growth spurt? Is it normally around 14 weeks they go through one????....

I'm just worried.

The most common growth spurts are 2 months, 4 months and 6 months, But babies dont always follow that pattern so yeh it could be, probably is if shes not unwell. Usually they will cluster feed a lot for a few days, then be SO tired aswell. then theyre fine and normal and u realise they dont fit their clothes! Also babies dont follow the same pattern all the time.

I thought my baby was having a growth spurt but she isnt sleeping all the time like you describe....shes EATING all the time! Cant get her to stop.....maybe she is just greedy

Sorry that really doesnt answer your question lol xx

suzanne they tend to eat all the time for a few days then it turns into sleeping all the time.. u watch u'll have a very sleepy baby very soon

Im sure connah had a little unexpected growth spurt at around 14weeks that only lasted a day or so xx

I read somewhere there's one around 3 months too

yep, 3 months aswell!
But what i was meaning was babies dont follow the rule, like Ava had her first and second growth spurts a week early each time.. so at 14 weeks she cud be having her growth spurt a couple weeks late etc, all normal.

That's very true
Evie has always been bang on time for her growth spurts, and she guzzled more ounces than usual yesterday, and cleared a 6 oz bottle this morning, so I'm guessing this is the start of her growth spurt! And she's 3 months on Wednesday

If you're not right missy you're in trouble!

I soooooooo need sleep!
