Moms who have formula fed- help!! My daughter is 5 days old. We were giving her 2 oz every 3 hrs then it seemed she was still hungry so we increased to 3 oz every 3 hours. Every night at 3am she is STARVING and takes more. She took 5oz-6oz in one feeding last night. What I am reading says it's ok, they will stop when they have had too much. It's only that one feeding. Isn't that a lot to give her this young? Too much?

Not really, if she wants it and can handle it without throwing it back up, it's fine. My son would have feedings where he would eat a significant amount more than usual feedings.

@brooklynsmom, They stop when they are full. You had a bigger baby so she may require a little more than the "normal. "

Thank you @Kaydensmommy5! Yeah I can tell after a "normal" feeding sometimes she is definitely not full at all. She usually does stop herself eventually/ thank goodness 😌 @valerie_jean so is my daughter!! I think she gets it from me! I ate all day when I was pregnant with her :)
