Very normal hun and yep you got it in one....YOU know Miss Evie best If only you could do what my DD does to people....stick out that tongue and blow a big fat wet raspberry
William is five weeks this week and he is consistant with three hourly feeds if not less...and he feeds for around 40minutes. he is putting on plenty of weight and the health nurse and lactation consultant has not told me its a bad thing rather it is normal (the feeds) and he is doing great(weight gains)....you know when your baby is hungry... i'd rather have a happy content baby than one that cries for two hours because you have to only feed 'every four hours'. and yes they are meant to have a growth spurt at four, six and eight weeks i'm pretty sure.
Completely normal!! You are right... you know your baby best and you are following her lead. Those growth spurts/developmental stages (whatever they're called!) happen, and they don't last forever. With DS it happened at 6wks, 12wks and around 20wks and lasted a few days feeding every 1-2.5 hours. Just go with the flow, and don't worry about all the well meaning advice because you know what Evie needs better than anyone.
