He won't stop eating!!

[Ninjascreenname]

And he's 3 weeks old. Every hour or less. I need sleep- help!!!

[sissy852]

they hit a growth spurt around that time.

[MommyO2-6631]

It will pass in a few days. In my experience this is the worst one.... just hang in there! Bedsharing is a life saver

3 week growth spurt.
Hang in there mama.
Do you co sleep?

[MisfitInTN]

It is a growth spurt

[mostlymaydays]

I knew this was a 3 week old by the title alone. The 3 week growth spurt has been my low point with all 4 of mine. Nurse on demand, yes even if he just demanded 40 minutes earlier. He's building your supply. Any interruption or supplementing will set you further back.

Cosleep! It's the only way I got any sleep through the growth spurts!

[mamabens]

Normal for the age, like others said without co sleeping I would have lost my ever loving mind!!

I am cosleeping, but there's no sleeping!!! He finally went to sleep at 6 this morning. How long do these things last?

DD's lasted four days.  She's four and a half weeks old now and it's better but she still eats a lot! She's also gained almost two pounds so I guess she's growing.  It's worth it mama!!

But but but- there's also a toddler and an elementary schooler and a house that has to be taken care of....... Why can't he eat like that during the day?
