i believe my son just went through a growth spurt.
he was eating massive amounts and just when i thought i couldn't keep up....

this morning he had a full feeding
then napped, when he woke up only drank half of his bottle then my mom came over to watch him while i ran some errands.
he went down for a nap on 10:15 and when I came home at 1145 he was still asleep until 12..
So he woke up and I tried feeding him...he drank maybe 1 oz then started screaming unconsolably.
I put changed his diaper, tried putting a pacifier in his mouth, tried putting him in his jumperoo...everything just made him more pissed.
so at 12:30 i put him back in his crib and he passed out :sleep:

not even after 30 minutes of being awake.

he's acting much different than he did for the past 2-3 weeks.
before he was guzzling 8 oz bottles in one sitting now he is taking 3 oz.
before he would only go 2 hours between feedings and now he is going 3+.

could this be the aftermath of a growth spurt?
 
Could be, my LO slept through his early growth spurts.
 
Could be... you might start noticing changes in his development now too as a result!
 
yahoo!!!
i've been waiting for him to roll, maybe he is gearing up for it! :happydance:
 
I thought they went off their milk just before going on a growth spurt? Someone told me that their bodies release a hormone that reduces their appetite just before the growth spurt. Maybe he'll start guzzling again in a few days! I could be completely wrong, it's just what I remember a HV telling me once! xx
