A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growth Spurt: The process of teething can start around this time, but in general this is associated with some decrease in feeding. A baby with fussiness that resolves with a meal, and seems to be feeding suddenly more than usual, is probably going through a four month growth spurt. If you are nursing, go to bed with baby for a day and just nurse as often as you can!
