Postpone Feeding Times

My 6weeks old baby has been drinking around 120ml every 2-3hours. I gradually increase the intake and she is drinking 160ml now. I was hoping to increase the volume of milk so as to drag the time between feeds. However, she still wants to drink every 2-3hours. Any ideas what to do?

It’s normal for them to drink every 2-3 hourly. Try not to keep increasing to the extent that you overfeed the baby.

so there isn't any way to extend the time between feeds? was hoping to drag till 3-4hours. if that's the case then I don't have to increase anymore since no matter how much I increase it will only last 2-3hours.

Looks normal. Shes still growing.
