My son drinks 4oz of milk , he finishes his whole bottle and then sometimes wants another one but only drinks half of it or less than half. Do you guys think i can up his bottle to 6oz? Or is that too much for a 1 month old?

My baby does this too. She’ll drink a 4oz bottle than in an hour or so she’ll want more. Lately I’ve been giving her 4oz in the day and then one or two 5oz bottles at night to fill her belly a little more.

My five month old drinks that much. Maybe slow down the feedings and make sure you are using the slowest flow nipple

He's probably going through a growth spurt. It'll end soon. I say to feed until he gets full. 6oz seems like a lot tho. My daughter was drinking a lot at the beginning to. I later found out it was acid reflux and she was just feeding to stop the pain, so she kept feeding only making things worse. I now feed her 3oz ever 2 hours.

Go ahead and feed him! If it is too much he will spit back up but cluster feeding is completely normal.

My son was eating a 5oz since he was born and I bump him up to 8oz when he was about 4month, because the 5oz wasn’t helping him. It’s totally fine to give your little one more. It’s not going to hurt him. Whatever doesn’t stay down always can come right back up.
