Olivia is now 2 weeks + 4 days old, and we're wondering if it's possible that she is having a growth spurt.............but part of me thought it would be too early for that??
She has been a lot more unsettled.....she will have a 4oz bottle, then an hour later, she wants more. We've always been advised to feed on demand, so we tend to give her more if she wants it.......last night, she had 4oz at 7pm, then by 8:15pm, she was rooting around for more & took another 2oz. During the night, she normally has 4oz, then will go 4 hours til her next feed but last night she had 3oz at 3am, then 4oz at 5am, then by 7:30am she wanted more & took another 2oz.
Does this sound like a growth spurt??? Are we right to just feed her when she wants it??
And also, is she too young to have colic? She seemed to have really bad wind this afternoon, and after several burps & passing wind a few times, she settled. Could we try her with some Infacol do you think??
