Is this growth spurt?

My 3 weeks old newborn is on 60ml per feed and since couple days ago he can drink up to 90ml on certain feeding sessions. Today I latched him up to 1hr and it seems that he is still very hungry (being crying and fussing a lot) so I gave him another 60ml of FM. Is this growth spurt? Has your baby gone through growth spurt and how was your experience like?

Yup their milk intake usually increases during growth spurts. My boy would keep on crying after he had his normal amount and so i gave him second round, only then he was satisfied and would sleep peacefully. Either that, or he feeds more frequently than usual.
