Okay, need opinions. I am a ftm so dont be rude. My son is 12 days old and from like 4 days old he has been eating 4oz bottles every threeish hours, because he acts hungry. The past couple nights he has been so colicy and wont sleep at night. Am i over feeding him or?

@beemommyof3 okay

That is because they want to suckle for comfort. Cant be done with a bottle. Give him a pacifier. But also if you pacefed. Make sure to use preemie or 0 nipple he will slow down as well. You dont want it to turn into reflux or anything

@beemommyof3 that makes sense, but he screams until he gets his 4oz

4 oz is a lot. Make sure to pacefeed. Burp every half ounce. They are clusterfeed the first few weeks. Less milk more often would be better for him

@sammeeandbaby jus keep doing what ur doing. Ur doing jus fine. Being a mommy is scary n new n all babies r different. I hope everything is good. Oh u might call her n tell the nurse what's going on n they go tell the Dr n they might have u come in or jus tell u what they think is best.

@sammeeandbaby u should see what Dr says but most likely she will tell u to try something that's gentle more on his belly. I have to use gentle for all my kids they do jus fine.

It could be the type of formula he's eating I would bring it up to the doctor but I wouldn't say you're overfeeding him @sammeeandbaby

I wouldn't say you're over feeding him if he eats it all! I give mine 2.5 oz every 3 hours, she won't eat anymore. You could try feeding him a little less and see if it helps. Also if you're formula feeding it could be the brand, may need something more gentle.
