Yes, they tend to sleep more.

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

it is not proven, but when babies are growing, which is obviously alot, it can take a toll on their body. during the heavier periods of growth they will eat more, gain more weight, and grow more. sleeping helps them re-plenish themselves and get more energy, and they will need MORE sleep when growing because their body is working harder than usual.

Answer 11

I have 3 boys and all of them sleep more when they were having a growth spurt - guess their little bodies need more energy then.  The rice cereal is a good start too.  I also would add about 1 tablespoon to their bedtime bottle so they'd get all the way through the night on one feeding.  You'll need to get the cross-cut nipples if you decide to do that so the cereal doesn't clog the opening.  I gave that to all my kids and it filled up their tummies and gave them a little extra nourishment during the growth spurts.  This is such an awesome time - enjoy every second!  They grow up way too fast :)

Answer 12

yes, they do sleep more during a growth spurt.

Answer 13

no that does not affect their sleeping  

Answer 14
