How much did your newborn eat and how often? My nurse told me she should be eating around 30 ml (1 0z) every 2-3 hours but whenever I'm finished feeding her she starts sucking on her hands like she's still hungry

How old is she?

Maybe this will help. 2-3 hours is usually how often they eat but it also depends on the baby, some babies can eat less or more & be ok.

that's when I got out the pacifier! my daughter loves that sucking action. yes they say it can cause confusion etc with latching but it didn't

Mine ate 2 ounces every 2 hours. You can't go by the "average" with every single baby. Mine was genuinely still hungry. I tried the teeny bit the doctors recommended and she'd still scream and look for the breast or bottle. After she had her two, she settled in and went back to sleep or staring around.

@dang_dridri, @littlemamaindiana shes only a day old, I've been feeding her 20-30 ml every 3 hours but she still acts hungry afterwards. So her last 2 feedings I've given her 40. She's a chunky baby, but I don't want to over feed her

Yeah, what @breloya said. Let baby control the feedings, if she's still hungry I would feed her.

My son was eating almost two oz since we were in the hospital. He is two weeks old and up to almost 4 oz. I would make a 2 oz bottle and see what she drinks. She will probably not drink all of it but those extra 10ml or so will probably do the trick. My son will fall asleep or simply stop drinking when he is satisfied. Hope this helps.
