Eating during a growth spurt

Do y'all adjust your calories during a growth spurt? My son is 7 weeks old and last night did literally nothing but nurse. (He then gave me his longest stretch of sleep yet - 3 1/2 hours - but went right back to nursenursenurse) This is my second and I recognize the growth spurt behaviour, but I wasn't counting cals last time. I am only trying to eat at a 250 deficit since I don't think for right now I could handle a 1lb a week weight loss deficit - too hungry! - but yesterday I ended up eating at maintenance and honestly....I think I could have easily eaten more.
I'm not making perfect food choices all the time yet - still working on balancing two kids with making healthy food choices for me- but my choices aren't that bad either, so I think I just genuinely need more calories right now but I'm not sure how much extra I should be giving myself.

Not really... But if I eat over a bit here and there, I don't sweat it. So perhaps I "unofficially" eat more
