I have a question about my baby's feeding and sleeping. We have the opposite problem of what other parents struggle with lol but my son sleeps ALL night BUT he eats all day and I mean he drinks 11 oz like every 30 minutes - hour. He only takes a couple naps but they usually are not very long. I love that he sleeps good at night but one night I noticed he was sucking on his hands and was fussing. I woke him up to feed him. He was in a deep sleep because I scared him half to death when I pick him up. The problem was that he was so hungry he chugged 6 oz in like 5 minutes and then puked up everything. He was so hungry but so tired, he couldn't wake himself up. Should I try cereal or baby food? I was supposed to have a WIC appointment today but the nurse was out sick. I really do not know what to do. It's been like this for weeks and I'm not sure if it's okay or not. Needing some advice! Has any mom went through this? If so, what did you do?

Dang my 3 month old only eats 3 oz every four hours sleeps a lot though the day and wakes up twice at night and eats maybe 2 oz and is up at 6 until 10 I wish my child would eat more and sleep threw the night maybe he needs some rice cereal to fill him up more I’m no doc but that’s what I would do I give her some

WIC won't put him in baby food til 6 months. My little guy is 2 months eats 4.5 ounces every 2 to 3 hours.

I wouldn't give him food until at least 5 months. Because he might choke on it ECT since he's so little still

If he's truly that hungry I'd suggest real food first. During the day and try to fill him. Very runny sweet potato or soaked then blended organic oats. Maybe he would do better in a different formula even? Maybe he's looking to suck at night instead? Definitely a pediatrician and personal choice situation.

@parkersmommy041617, yeah I know. I honestly do not know what to do. Everyone is usually against cereal. I need to research more about what's best
