Help!
My daughter is 5 weeks and she just got bumped up to 4ozs, and she eats about every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. She had 5ozs just a few hours ago and shes hungry again already. π
It just seems like the more we feed her the hungrier she gets.
Shes been doing this for 2 and a half weeks now.
My doctor told me to give her what she wants. Just make sure you burp her often. Don't let her finish before you burp her. I think babies will definitely let you know when something's wrong. When I told my doctor we fed her every 3-4 hours she said that's too long. She said to feed her when she's hungry. Now, definitely call and talk to someone just to be sure. I know I can call and talk to an on call nurse for advice.
@jleightutt, thats what my daughter is doing. Just about every 2 and a half hours. But when shes sleeping she sleeps for 5 or 6+ hours at a time then when shed awake she wont sleep. She just constantly eats
They're constantly growing at this stage. I would just feed her until she's full whenever she's hungry. She will let you know if she's had too much. She will spit up what doesn't fit in her tummy. My LO is going through a growth spurt this week and we have gone through sooo much formula. She's been eating 4 ounces every 2 hours compared to her usual 4 ounces every 3 hours.
@gcpaschal, yours ate like that too?
Im just worried that her tummy hurts and shes only eating to comfort herself and that she will get an even worse tummy ache. π
Or im just over thinking.
Ill most likely be giving them a call in the morning.
