My baby is hungry all the time recently, and his daytime naps are shorter. Will this growth spurt permanently mess up his sleep schedule?

Growth spurts usually last 2–3 days to a week; frequent nursing, shorter naps, and fussiness are typical signs. The good news: no, it won't permanently break his routine.
Once the spurt ends, most babies go back to their old pattern — and sometimes their sleep actually gets a little better afterward. What's happening is your baby's body is growing fast, so he needs more food, and his sleep gets temporarily compressed to make room for all that eating. It's temporary.
Once the spurt is over, if your baby hasn't returned to his usual sleep within 1–2 weeks or if you notice weight gain has slowed, that's when to check with your pediatrician. But usually this growth phase passes and life goes back to normal.
