Does this sound like a growth spurt?

My son is 6.5 months actual, 4.5 months adjusted.  He's an awesome sleeper... sleeping 12 hours each night without a feeding and without waking him. He some times wakes at around 4:30 am and whines for a minute or two but puts himself back to sleep.  This weekend we went home to see my family for Christmas so he slept in his co-sleeper at my dad's on Saturday and my mom's on Sunday. We are home now.  Saturday night he went down and woke up once during the night and seemed hungry.  Last night he woke up every two hours and cried.  Tonight I put him down at his usual bed time. He went to bed and slept for about an hour without a stir.  Then he woke up screaming.  I went in and fed him because he was smacking.  My husband just soothed him for a half hour and he finally fell asleep but now he looks like he is waking up again a few minutes later.  I also think he may be teething again but does this sound like a growth spurt or something else?  There is this part of me that lives in constant fear that it is my supply or something but I had a major oversupply early on and now I'm scared it will swing the other way. 

 Also, no fever, room is the normal temperature, doesn't seem to have any cold symptoms.  Thoughts??  I'm hoping to get some sleep for Christmas!! 

 

ETA- I just went and nursed him again. he completely passed out.  By the time I got down to the downstairs he was up and whining/crying.   

 

ETA again- we brought him downstairs after nothing working. He's laying in the pack and play chewing on his fingers looking around.  Is it just that he is now aware that he's missing stuff??? I guess I'm just trying to make sure it isn't a supply thing but I'm not sure how to figure that out!

I always worry its supply too. But you have several issues working against you right now. 4 month wakeful period, plus being more aware. And being in a different place. LO is afraid to miss out on all the excitement. My LO is almost 5 months now and my parents are here for the holidays and she's doing the same thing whereas she usually sleeps really well. It will hopefully get better once you get back home and into your usual routine. GL!

Ooops sorry, we are home now but it is our first night home.  Right now he has a mesh feeder with frozen BM in it and he is going to town. I'm thinking it is teething... ugh he got his first two teeth at 5.5 months and I didn't even know he was teething I know. it was too good to be true!!!

Ear infection or teething? Also maybe a virus of some sort like a sore throat? DS was miserable when his first tooth came in. The rest have been a lot easier. If it lasts more than a couple days i'd go to the dr.
