I think Claire has hit her 3-month growth spurt. Last week, she started wanted to nurse a lot more often (thus increasing my milk supply) so I knew something was up. This week, she has started eating much larger bottles (more than 4 ounces) and is having these crazy outbursts where she goes from happy to VERY, VERY unhappy for no reason. I'm hoping that this growth spurt plumps her up again and doesn't stretch her out too much because she's starting to lose her cheeks! What makes it even more interesting this time is that she's found her voice, which means that the crying is much louder than the last time we went through this.
This, too, shall pass. :)
Sleeping-wise, we've started a true bedtime ritual (bath, book, boob), and she's doing a great job going to sleep between 8 and 9 and waking up between 6 and 7. The nighttime feedings have been variable, but I think it's part of the growth spurt. With her eating more now, I'm guessing that she'll tank up during the day and wake less at night to feed. We shall see!
