she wants to eat almost every hour!

is this okay??? she has been sick all week - but this is just insane....

she has a clean diaper
doesn't want to be held
spits out the paci
only stops screaming once i make a bottle...

i guess maybe it's a growth spurt but is it okay to feed her this often????

she has been taking 1-3 oz every hour...(almost)

Re: she wants to eat almost every hour!

ds went through phases like that... have you tried increasing the amount to 4oz?

I was going to ask you to stop posting about my eating habits until I read this.

Abby went through that. Now I wish she did! She is not a fan of the eating process.

Re: she wants to eat almost every hour!

she is on 4 ounce bottles....but she won't finish and then wants another 3 or 4 later.....

i posted at what - 2:30? since then she's had 8 more ounces - NOT KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: she wants to eat almost every hour!

it definitely sounds like a growth spurt... ds was a major drinker when he was little... and there were days that i swear i would start with a bottle at 2pm and when dh got home at midnight i was still holding a bottle... i know my ped initally told me to try water inbetween (at that point he was up to 65 ounces a day) but i learned there was just no satisfying them in the midst of a growth spurt...

Re: she wants to eat almost every hour!

sounds like a growth spurt to me! plus she was really sick last week right? her little body is probably just making up for all that formula that wasn't agreeing w her tummy. feed that baby whatever she wants!
