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. 😔
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. 😔
Or im just over thinking.
I thought she had just gone through one not last week but the week before @andrewsmommy.
Shes been like this for a few weeks now
She could be going through the growth sprout if she hasn't already
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
Opinions on hungrier baby milk? My girl is drinking well over 30 oz in 24 hours. I tried her with water inbetween feeds but she just won't settle in till she has milk as she's hungry not thirsty. She's awake like 18 hours a day 😭
Just heard a stripper say she works 3 nights a week and that is enough to pay the bills and then some🤔 considering putting in my 2 week notice..😂
So my baby is 8 weeks old and is thriving with weight gain each doctors visit. So here is my question: around 4-5 hours at night for sleep she wakes up every night and sucks on her thumb. (She finally this week likes it to soothe her during nap times) her eyes are still closed and she moves around and sucks it. I wake her to feed her. My question is should I just let it go? And see if she is just soothing herself to sleep? I don't want her to stave by morning if she sleep a couple of more hours...
Thank you @gcpaschal
Ill most likely be giving them a call in the morning.
