It's completely normal for newborns to drink milk frequently, as their tiny tummies can only hold small amounts at a time. The fact that your baby is still pooping normally and showing no signs of discomfort is a good sign. It's great that you're mix feeding with breast milk and formula to ensure your baby is getting the necessary nutrients. Since you have already increased the formula milk intake and your baby is still hungry every 1.5 hours, it might be worth consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. They can provide guidance on whether the feeding pattern is typical for your baby's age and offer personalized advice based on your baby's needs. Remember, every baby is unique and may have different feeding patterns. Trust your instincts as a parent and seek professional advice when in doubt. #parenting #babycare https://invl.io/cll6she
My 3 week old is drinking 90-100ml every 2h and recently started feeling hungry in less than 2h intervals. PD said it is ok as long as he is not experiencing any discomfort nor vomiting but not to increase daily intake any further. I supposed it is also dependent on the weight of your baby.
Yes normal! Mine also kept drinking every 1-1.5 hours at that stage too. Was worried about overfeeding but our PD it’s ok as long as baby is still fine/ not vomiting :)
When you increase milk, should increase every 30ml. Can try 90ml. And also very normal for newborn to feed often! I also remember mine feeds every 1-5hr.
it's ok. Take all the weight gain u can get, it will taper off eventually
