Growth Spurts

Throughout Josh's infancy, he's going to have a few growth spurts where he will cluster feed. The first one was at 2 nights (that was rough!) and the "regular" growth spurts are usually at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. Well, J just had a growth spurt yesterday and today (and he's only just over 2 weeks!!!). This means multiple feedings, at least once every 2 hours, if not more often. He was also a frantic feeding and fussed and cried all night. Thankfully, I think his growth spurt is now over as he just slept for 3.5 hours straight. Hopefully, that was the 3 week growth spurt and we won't have to deal with another one until he is almost 6 weeks.

He has also been really congested at night in our bedroom. We are giving him Salinex but it doesn't seem to be helping. He seems to be panting and frantically breathing all night long. Hopefully, a humidifier will help.
