Baby drinks too much milk?

My baby is only 3 weeks old and he is constantly hungry. He used to only drink less than average which is 40-50ml around 2hrs interval but now he’s drinking 80-90ml at 1.5 to 2hrs interval. I’m worried about over feeding but when we gave him less milk he got all the hungry cues. He won’t sleep until we feed him more milk. He’s on formula feeding. Is this normal and what do i do if it’s not?

Hi, my baby is also 3 weeks old and drinks 90-100ml every 1.5-3 hours but he is on fully on breastmilk. How heavy is your son? Mine is around 4.4kg now.

My boy’s birth weight was 3.3kg. I was also afraid of over feeding but he always seems to be hungry which sounds like yours too! And it’s also difficult to put him down to sleep as he takes super long to go back to sleep and by the time he’s ready to sleep it’s time for the next feed and the cycle repeats itself again 😱. Best to check with PD if you’re concerned particularly if your baby is formula fed!
