So my LO is almost 6 weeks old and eats 3 oz every 2 hours. Hell be content for 45 min then cry hungry again and try to suck our faces off. I tried 4 oz at feedings but he spits it up. And I tried an oz or 1/2 oz in between feedings and he sometimes spits it all up. I've heard some people with this issue try a tiny bit of rice cereal in the formula. My parents are against trying it cause they said he isn't ready for it. What is everyone's advice/opinion ?!?

I would add just a tiny pinch of cereal. that's what I did with my daughter.
My son's pedi was against rice cereal so I didn't add any. He still spits up but dr said if it's not bothering baby then he's fine and he's gaining weight appropriately. Enfamil makes the formula with added rice cereal too.
Well it seems like he is full and definitely doesn't need more to eat then. Will he take a pacificer? Have you tried feeding less more frequently?
Yeah he's spitting up whole bottles when I feed him more. Hoe long do growth spurts go? He's been doing this about almost 2 weeks now
Sounds like he's going through a growth spurt and just wants to feed more frequently. For spitting up try feeding less at a time more frequently. My son has reflux so I knoe about spitting all too well. Sometimes he'd spit up whole bottles. or maybe try a pacificer in between feedings, since baby's have that need to suck.
My husband had to be fed rice cereal when he was an infant due to never being satisfied so I'm thinking he might need it
