My boy is 6 days old today and is ALWAYS really hungry. I put him on one side then when he fusses he…

that's super normal. it's a growth spurt. the next few months they'll have one every couple weeks. it's telling your body how much milk to make

Okay I just feel like I'm behind or not making enough, the formula we tried have him a bad belly ache and he was miserable 😢 @verobaby

no you are actually fine. adding formula will actually make it worse because you are taking a feeding away from him which will tell your body you don't need that milk when you do. just keep feeding on demand. I'm not going to lie it'll be like this for the first 3 months or so it'll get easier & it's so worth it.

They're supposed to eat every hour or two at first. It may be frustrating but completely normal at that age

Okay just making sure I'm not starving him 😂 he is only 3oz lighter than birth weight @zensnow @verobaby

this can help with growth spurts but no you are not starving him even if they act like it when they are hungry. my son is about to be 7 months old & when he sees me he acts like i never feed him lol good luck hun

He will do that because he is growing and my daughters 6 months old and still eats every 2 hour but sleeps all night and her doc said its better for that baby to eat smaller every hour or 2 then eat a lot it can hurt their small tummy

Oh yeah the first 2-3 months my baby ate about every 5-10 minutes. It's totally normal. It's called cluster feeding. She's 6 months now and eats on a schedule (she created the schedule). It gets better
