How Long Does The Growth Spurt Last In An Infant?
My 3 month old nursing by breast, is having a growth spurt. Nursing every 1/2 hour for over a week now. Is this normal? How long should growth spurts last? Should I call the Doctor? Baby is up 3 times during the night, should baby be sleeping through the night? Baby takes only cat naps through the day....is it time to bottle feed?

Hi,
It's normal for a baby to ask feed whenever she or he wants.
Continue exclusive breastfeeding until 5 months. And then slowly start supplement food.
She can get up in the night for a feed. it's normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
