Feeding a 3 week old

Is it possible to "overdue it?"
DS will drink 4 oz at one feeding and 5 at the next.
I just gave him a 4 oz bottle at 430..then another 2oz at 530 and he is still complaining...Ive burped him, changed him, etc.
Can he really STILL be hungry?

I don't think you can overfeed a baby that age. I was EBFing at that age, but I know that there were plenty of days when I felt like all I did was feed him. If you think he's not really hungry see if you can soothe him some other way first and then if that doesn't work offer the bottle.

thats exactly how DD was and actually still is
she will sleep a good 7 hours at night then have a 4-5 oz bottle than every 2 1/2 - 3 hours later its 4oz and sometimes an oz or 2 in between

TY ladies. He drank 1oz and is now sound asleep. I don't know why I feel like I am "overdoing it". Maybe he just needs that little extra. Could be a "growth spurt" as well.
TY again. You made me feel better.Chat Icon
