Here we have a lot of queries on growth spurt and how to handle the same. I have jus worked on this topic and hope this will help mommies to understand the term better. <br> ;;;;;;;;;;;;; Growth spurt<br> What is growth spurt? <br> Out here we often talk about growth spurt. So, I felt like giving a description of what it is and how to handle it better with knowing what actually it means.<br> Growth spurt occurs in every babies and this is the period where parents are in for a lot of surprises making them go crazy, where parents can see their baby reacting very differently to the everyday routine the once followed until the previous day.<br> When does it happen? <br> Researchers have come to a cumulative conclusion that more or less these growth spurts occurs mostly during the first few days at home after a discharge from the hospital and around 7-10 days, 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 6 months and 9 months approximately. This does not end there, most moms notice growth spurts every few months during the toddler years and periodically thereafter on through the teenage years.<br> How long does it take to settle? <br> Growth spurt usually occurs for a period of a day or two, but could also take a toll for a week in few babies and that's the mist difficult phase to tackle.<br> What happens during this phase?<br> Breastfed babies nurse often than usual, sometimes as often as every hour. They become extremely fussier.<br> Physical growth like teething is not the only reason that babies may have a temporary need for increased nursing. Babies show up such tantrums when they are trying to learn a new skill such as rolling over, crawling, walking or talking. During this crucial period babies exhibit such behaviour and often feed on mom&#8217;s milk as they feel relived and this feed is important for their growing brain as well as the body. <br> How to handle it? <br> The best and the only way to handle such period in babies is to follow your baby's lead. It's a temporary phase.; <br>
