Is sleeping related to growth?

[stouffer]

My 13 week old has been asleep all day after sleeping through last night. I pretty much have to wake her up to feed her. It's so unlike her. She usually only has 2 x 40 minute naps plus a few catnaps when feeding. Generally she's awake all day and wants to play non stop.

She doesn't seem to be unwell at all but it's so out of character. Just wondering if anyone else's baby went through this around the 12-14 week stage and is it a growth spurt?

I notice that my LO will sleep loads when having a growth spurt! I think there is a growth spurt around 12 weeks. Look up wonder weeks - that's pretty helpful with growth spurts and when they are etc.

My lo is doing the same. She slept most of the day yesterday, took a 2 hour nap in the evening, I had to WAKE her up for bath and to feed her, and then slept all night waking twice to eat. I have been really concerned as well, sounds like a growth spurt.

yeah we've had a VERY sleepy baby today and yesterday. I was adament he wasnt going t sleep last night cos he was awak for 2-3 hours yday and asleep the rest of the time but he did a 5 hour stretch and i had to wake him to get him dressed etc as we were going out!
i reckon its his way of dealing with the 6 week growth spurt.
