Huge appetite for 1 month 12 days

My baby boy has been drinking 110ml of formula every 2-3 hour, equivalent to 1000ml a day on record. I am very worried if I am over feeding but he cry so much at the 2 hour mark and he seem to always able to finish. So his cycle is 2 hours;110ml. Can someone help to advise us if your child is the same?

Hi, was feeding my 1 month baby boy 80ml every 2-3 hours but increased to 100ml as he was crying badly too and I assumed he was hungry as he was able to finish the 1000ml as well. Went to KKH for other reasons and doctor said that we were overfeeding and baby was gaining weight too fast. You can try to feed him according to his weight then follow with a pacifier as they just want to suckle. You can try calculating to see the required amount. https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/babys-milk-intake

not every baby accepts pacifier so it depends

baby boy tends to have a bigger appetite.. so don't worry! my first born son also used to drink about 110-120ml every 1-2 hrs when he was about 1 month ++.. just follow his cues and ignore what the doctor say sometimes.. Different baby Different needs 😌

Yeah it scares me sometimes, but now is getting better. He has been sleeping longer though the night.

normal he's undergoing growth spurt. Every baby drinks different amount of milk so there's no fixed amount. Just follow his cues
