feeding

Hi! Would like to know if anyone here is feeding 110ml with 3.5 scoops of Fm to a 4kg newborn? My LO will always asking for more, but as according to the tin, it says this and i gave it according but she will feel discomfort and vomit out milk or even water with milk residues.

Hello! I rmember when i brought home my son, we gave him 30 ml for every 2 hrs. The following two weeks we gave him 90 ml every 2 hrs. He kept regurgitate throughout that period too and we slowly bring it down to 60 ml. My son at that point of time too kept wanting more milk, he will cry after every feed but we know what will happen when we increase his intake. 110ml seems too much for 1 month old. We had the same thoughts as you too and follow the milk intake according to suggestion on tin but we kept monitoring our son and true enough even though he kept crying for more milk after each feed, he did no longer regurgitate or vomit out his milk and will sleep longer too as his tummy was not in discomfort. Seems to me your child tummy is not able to take in 110 ml per feed. Try to cut it down and he will regurgitate less.
