[quote=Anonymous]My baby is 8 weeks and eats pumped breast milk. For the past few weeks she eats every 4-4.5 hours, this has directed by her but we have been reinforcing to establish a schedule. The past day or so she keeps taking shorter naps than usual and when she wakes up crying for food at the 2.5 to 3 hour mark. I dont want to overfeed her but its possible this is a cluster feed and I should go with it. Its quite stressful and hard to distract her until the 4 hours since the previous feeding. The other possibility is I need to give her more at each meal but she seems sated by her usual 4 ounces. Example: Baby ate at 12:30 pm, then we played a bit, she took a short nap from about 1:45 -2:30 and woke fussing for food. I ultimately gave her 1 oz bc she was so upset and obviously hungry. She then drifted off to sleep in my arms, woke again at 3:30 fussing for food. He next meal time is 4:30. Thanks for advice. [/quote]
