It seems in the past everyone accepted the existence of growth spurts or
frequency days which some consider to be the same things, but some consider
to be different things. Then as I recall, the existence of predictable (at
certain expected times) growth spurts was then called in to question.
What is the consensus of the Lactnet community, for my own curiosity,
regarding talking to moms at hospital discharge, about growth spurts? Or
making a f/u call prior to the first expected growth spurt.? I typically do
not mention relatively precise weeks to expect a growth spurt, but rather
that feeding patterns can and do change as baby matures, and responsive
feeding remains a good strategy. And to call when concerned about any such
changes.
