6 week growth spurt?

[Brie]

Please tell me this is a normal thing. C has turned into a demon the last 2 days. He is doing some major cluster feeding at night (my nipples feel raw), and screams his head off when he's not eating or sleeping. He is usually fairly chill. He is also fighting sleep so hard--he's clearly exhausted and probably overtired.

Help. Tell me it will pass.

Yup, sounds like 6 week growth spurt. I remember thinking, WTF happened to my two sweet babies? It lasted about 3 days. It will pass--I promise.

Hang in there! I swear, I just stuck a nip in his mouth to shut him up during these spurts. I kept track of feedings in an app and I was legit breastfeeding for 12 hours a day.

DC, I can't even imagine doing this X2. Hats off to you.

Mush, I BF him until he starts howling at my boobs. It's so pathetic.

Another vote for "can be normal." Growth spurt, brain development, etc. My DSs were fussy from 6-12 weeks (sorry, I know that is a long time) and then were suddenly sweet again.

It will pass! Hang in there and hand him off to your H for a little while each day to get a break.

6-8 weeks is the hardest. It gradually improves
There's another growth spurt at 3months and 6 months
