4 - 6 weeks
Most babies will lose weight immediately after birth, which is normal, they will regain their weight from birth until they reach 10-14 days of age, and this accelerated growth some say is the first growth spurt.
The growth spurt at 4 - 6 weeks is generally easier to notice. It generally lasts 3 days.
At this stage the baby will have tears, he will be more agitated, more anxious and will develop more senses, he will start to be more and more attentive to the noises around him.
The baby will sleep worse, will want to breastfeed more and more often, cry more and will need more attention, to feel safe.
It will gain more weight at this stage and increase the length and girth of the skull. It is a period of sudden, accelerated growth.
We can help him by talking to him, holding him, rocking him, giving him as much love and food / breast on demand.
Moms, keep calm, Dads, help moms as much as possible.
