Less is more? Or more is enough.

Question

Should i give my 3 wk old baby 60mls every 2hr or 90mls every 3hr? Now i am giving her 90mls every 3hr but she always making a fuss at 2 hr mark. If every 2hr, i can say goodbye to my sleep. 🙃#1stimemom #firstbaby

When my baby was about 3 weeks, the nurses said 100ml is too much for him. Should give about 80-90ml. I gave him every 2.5 hrs. You can use a breast milk intake formula to calculate how much baby should drink.

If baby wants more, can increase intake to maybe 100mls? Can she finish? It’s usually trial and error. 😅 sometimes fussing may not be due to hunger too..
