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?
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 :)
@brooklynsmom, They stop when they are full. You had a bigger baby so she may require a little more than the "normal. "
You're welcome! My son was and is a little piggy
Awesome thank you so much @valerie_jean @tjeirmommy1416 that makes me feel so much better! Congrats @theirmommy1416 !!
I'm going through the same thing with my week old son. it's completely ok. they know when to stop
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.
Thank you @phasion! I'm still at that "first time mom don't know what the hell im doing" stage 😣
