Help! Is It Normal For Newborn To Feed So Often!

My baby coming to one month old feeds more than 10x a day as she only drinks about 60ml each time. At certain times she can feed every hour and take in only 30-60ml each feed. She is bottle fed ebm and formula btw. We have tried to give her more milk per session but she just won't finish it as she usually falls asleep after about 60ml or so. Totally clueless how to make her drink more so can decrease the number of feeds. My confinement nanny is leaving tmr and I will be taking care of her on my own. Wondering how I can manage the feeds and still have the time to pump. Feeling so stressed out now. ?

My LO was 5 weeks old and a little similar to your LO. She used to drink 90-100ml of EBM or FM during my end of confinement period, then just out of sudden the last 2 days before my CL departure, her milk intake dropped to 60ml. And from then onwards, I feed her 60ml Every 2 hours. Sometimes also dragged to 3 hours. I tried making 90ml and LO still stops at 60ml, if I try to force feed a little more, she will gag and then Vomit the milk. Sometimes also drink 40-50ml.. and she had alot of spit up too. Haiz... That time I so worry. It only got better after 3 months old. Now LO is 5.5mths old. Now drink milk also see mood one. Normal time drink 100ml , no mood drink 50-60ml. If Good time, she Can drink up to 150ml 😂
