The recent thread on "growth spurts" vs. "supply dips" has been interesting.
Once again, maybe a subject here for research to test one of the theories we
have repeated unquestioningly forever. I teach moms about growth spurts, but
have always wondered why I was never aware of any with either of my kids.
Maybe I was just too unobservant. I wonder if it's one of the many phenomena
that are more cultural than physiological. Kathy Dettwyler, did you observe
them in Mali? Miriam Levitt RN, IBCLC
