  while your statement is 'right on" ... the problem is the mother who wants
an "explanation" for why their babys feeding pattern has changed... our
reaction
 - go with the flow,/ mom though is panicked so we say" growth spurt - go with
the flow: now mom has an "answer" - growth spurt so she can relax and "go with
the flow"

<<  Now, I bet most of us on this list think it's okay to respond to the
baby's
 apparent increased need to feed just because that's what he wants to do -
 whatever the calendar says! Babies' wants are exactly the same as their
 needs when they are young and dependent on you for love, security, warmth,
 comfort..oh, yes, and top-quality nutrition for growth and development,
 too. >>
