[quote=Anonymous]I have a 4-week-old who seeks hungry after almost every feeding. He eats breast milk and 1 formula bottle a day from a bottle. He was eating 2oz every 2 hours but he has been wanting 3oz at each feed the past couple of days. I talked with an LC and she said that’s too much. She said to feed 1 ounce for every hour he goes in between feedings. He is on the slowest flow nipple, takes about 10-15 minutes to eat, and I burp him and wait a minute. He sometime will be fine with 2oz, but most feeding he has been wanting 3oz. He eats 10 times a day. I have noticed that him eating 3oz during the day is making him sleep longer stretches at night. We have been feeding him what he wants, and the last two nights he did two 4 hour stretches. He was waking up every 2-3 hours before he started eating more. Should I listen to the LC or keep feeding him more? I don’t want to over feed him, but I also don’t want to be hungry. [/quote]
