Are there tips for maintaining my sanity during infant growth spurts?

Growth spurts often come with frequent, cluster-style feeding and sleep disruptions that can be incredibly exhausting. To protect your well-being, try introducing a bottle of pumped milk so a partner or caregiver can assist with at least one night feed, allowing you to secure a block of restorative sleep. Remember that these phases are temporary, and it is vital to take as much help as possible—whether through extra household help or shared caregiving duties—to get through the most challenging nights.
