6 months growth spurt
"Jenny" wrote in message ps.com... I am hoping for a growth spurt, how long do these last?? She has consistantly woken up at around 5am for the last 5 days. Couple more days. It might also be that I am not giving her enough solids? She is eating: in the morning usually some vegetable like pumpkin or peas, cereal in the early afternoon and then some fruit in the afternoon. In addition to BF right after each of these meals and in the early morning and right before bedtime, plus another BF session here or there when she is hungry. Is this too much?? Are growth spurts normally like this?? Yup. Just wait another year, when she'll be big enough to snag your bean burrito out of your hand if you're not looking. Jess |

6 months growth spurt
DD Ilona turned 6mo about 10 days ago. In the last five days her self
made schedules have gone up side down, she seems to be constantly hungry and she is eating every two hours. I try to follow the doctor's food regimen, but she is eating so much that it is hard to follow. She used to wake up at 7am now she wakes up at 4 or 5 in the morning for a quick BF session and then goes back to sleep untlil 7 when she eats again. Ilona is quite chuncky, Last time we went to the doctor 10 days ago she was weighing 18lbs. and I am affraid I might be overfeeding her. I basically feed her on que, which is every two hours.

6 months growth spurt
It sounds to me like you are feeding her *too much* solids. My DS is chunky
(above the 97th percentile for weight) but at 9 months doesn't eat as much as you are giving your DD, and I would call him a good eater. At this stage, solids are for practice really and not for nutrition. And iirc the recommendation is to breastfeed *before* feeding solids and not vice versa. My DS won't eat solids in the mornings, but will eat a few cheerios or applesauce or something for lunch (small jar) after nursing, and one or two jars at nighttime when we have our family evening meal. That's about it though... he wolfs it down, LOL! Having said all that it may also be a growth spurt, and ime they last 7-10 days...we just had one "Jenny" wrote in message ps.com...
