Could it be another growth spurt?

They say growth spurts happen at around 10 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. Jayla is getting close to the 6 week mark and yesterday, she was cluster feeding for what felt like 'all day long'. And actually, she slept very little yesterday as well. I think our little girl is growing up. Maybe she doesn't need as much sleep. She was awake from about 6pm until 1:25am - with the exception of a 20 minute nap in grandma's arms after dinner yesterday. And then today, same thing...she was awake from 10:45am till 3:30pm with a little 20 minute nap somewhere in between there.

We did have a record sleep to report from last night though. She slept from 1:30am till 4:45am...that's over 3 hours...for sure the longest yet. I was impressed (and delighted as I was also able to enjoy that sleep time).

We picked up some gripe water today at the drugstore. We'll give it a try tonight. See if it helps. I'm not sure exactly what it's supposed to do, but if it soothes her a little, I'll be happy. I wonder if it will help with her gas as well. Jayla is tooting a lot and I guess I can mention it here, she hasn't had a BM since Saturday night at around 11:45pm. I read that after 3 or 4 weeks, it's not uncommon for breastfed babies to go 2 or 3 days or even a week without a BM. So we won't get too concerned yet. But we're keeping our eye on it for sure.

I guess it's time we share this with our family, so they can read all the updates. So, to everyone that I sent the link to - Hi! I hope you enjoy reading this...and check back for updates.
