There are some videos on YouTube on just how to do it. My understanding is if you're bottle feeding you tip the bottle back to where the nipple is still is babies mouth for sucking but isn't getting anything then you too it back and do that at a certain pace like 1 minute feeding 30 seconds tipped away or something. If breastfeeding you can swap your nipple for a paci then go back an forth. The idea is that baby is still sucking on something to provide an illusion of feeding that way they don't get pissed when the food stops cause you're trying to trick them to think it'll still be coming they just have to work harder or wait. If that makes sense. I've never done it so I'm not 100% sure on the time spaces and such but 2 friends of mine had great luck with this method.

yea I do. I just feel like he's eating soooo much. but if I don't feed him that much he's just acts hungry still and will cry until I give him more.

Do you burp him after? Might sound like a stupid question but the little girl I babysit will spit up every time if I don't burp her after her bottle

Is it normal for an almost 4 week old to eat every two hours? We tried to extend feedings to every three but he freaks out

My Baby Boy is 14 weeks now and I exclusively breastfeed. He only takes 4oz every 2hrs.

Is that normal or should he be eating more?

lovingmy_2 @aliakr, I was the same way but trust me it takes time 😩😩 While in the hospital
zaysmomma 4 oz is plenty. If your son is BF the rule is "an oz an hour" because
lovingmy_2 @zaysmomma Yes I just pump .. he never seem to go over 4oz. So I couldn't help
