Growth spurt coming up
It’s common for newborns to have a growth spurt around 6 weeks of age. During this time, you may notice your baby is more fussy and showing hunger cues more frequently. Growth spurts tend to last only about 2 days so continue to feed your baby on demand during this time. Try to include more frequent daytime feedings, and don’t be surprised if you experience cluster feeding behaviors in the evening or nighttime.
