When will my baby have a growth spurt?

During growth spurts, babies often experience disrupted sleep patterns because their bodies are undergoing significant changes and need extra energy. As a result, they may be more fussy and want to nurse more frequently, leading to shorter and more fragmented nighttime sleep. Additionally, the physical changes taking place during a growth spurt can cause temporary discomfort, leading to restlessness and difficulty sleeping. However, this is a normal part of development and typically only lasts a few days to a week. To help support your baby's sleep during a growth spurt, try to maintain a consistent bedtime routine, offer plenty of comfort and soothing measures, and be patient as your baby adjusts to the changes.
