Growth Spurts

The first growth spurt occurs at approximately 2 weeks of life. This is where you think the nice routine you’ve established since leaving the hospital has completely fallen apart! Babies will go through a growth spurt around 2, 6, and 12 weeks of life. Their hunger will seem insatiable. He/she will demand more food, more often for about 1 week then settle back down into a routine again. This is very normal and does not indicate that your baby needs cereal.
