Growth spurt or not??

Long gone are the nice sleeping hours at night.  We are on feeding #2 and it is 2:30, last feeding was at 12:00.  I am trying to wean Johnathan from the swaddle because he  is starting to escape plus I think he can get his gas bubbles out better when he can squirm around a little bit.  Not sure if not being swaddled has to do with the little sleep between feeds or if it is only a growth spurt. Here is to hoping the next feeding isn't until 5:30.

So, after two nights of this I'm not convinced it is a growth spurt.  I think I have to do a better job of helping Johnathan get his gas out during the day because again I'm pretty sure that is what woke him up twice early this morning.  I need to keep this guy upright after feedings and burp and burp!  I'm also thinking we need to do more tummy time because that naturally helps get the gas out.  I also ave on to the pacifier today because I was feeding him because he wanted to suck but he over ate and had massive spit up this morning.  I tried today after he ate and had some awake time, we are definitly going to have to work on it.  I just don't want him to be the three year old that still has a pacifier.  Hopefully these changes work because I am one tired mama.
