Growth spurt?

[Kristina93]

I know that when they are little like Audrey (4.5 months) they can have growth spurts at any time.

She went from sleeping 5-7 hours straight at night to nursing a LOT more.

Example at night
Nursed at 9:30
in bed by 10
N at 12:30
N at 4:45
N at 7:30
N at 9:15

But slept every time in between. She used to nurse at 9:30, 12:00 and then didn't wake up until 5 and then at 9. I guess it's just one more nursing session, but it feels like so much more! Some nights she would also skip the midnight session and be good... but not for the last week.

During the day, I nurse on demand, and she tends to nurse every 3-4 hours. Takes one side, and then the other 10-20 minutes later.

I am hoping it's just a growth spurt. This is the time when I thought I was losing my milk with Austin, but maybe I wasn't and he was just in a growth spurt.

Audrey has never had a bottle and I'm not a good pumper....

What do you ladies think?

Okay... so I"m just assuming growth spurt and teething mixed here. I give her teething tablets and she is happy as a clam about 10-15 minutes later. She can sleep for 3-4 hours after taking them! But, she is still waking up every 2.5-3 hours at night. I miss my 5-7 hours stretches of sleep!!!
