My daughter did that the first couple days after birth so I started feeding her more, she's now two weeks and eats 3 ounces every 3-4 hours, sometimes she goes even longer!
Im breastfeeding my son he is 5 weeks old and literally feeds every hour during the day. But then he goes 5 to 6 hours at night so I don't mind as I know I will get a good stretch of sleep when he finally goes down.
My son depends on if he's getting fed from a bottle or from the breast. If he's getting fed from the breast it's every two hours or sooner except during the night. If it's in a bottle, I give him 4 oz of breast milk and he lasts 3-4 hours. Depending on how he sleeps. I wish he would go 3-4 hours after feeding off the breast, but he doesn't. Makes me wonder if I should change up my breast feeding routine.
My little guy is like clockwork every hour and 45 mins or so he starts crying to be fed. But he rarely will take more than 2 ounces at a time he gets 3 at night since he goes longer.
So glad to see we're not the only ones! I was so worried that I'm not producing enough because he always seems hungry! Doctor on Monday will verify if he's good in the weight gain area, but my sore arms think he's gaining just fine.
You're not alone. I don't really ever put my breasts away and just go around with no shirt because I'm feeding seemingly every 30 mins to an hour. He's 3 weeks!
My baby is formula fed, but she barely makes it two hours with 3 ounces. I've tried giving her 4, but she won't take it. But she drinks so much during the day, she doesn't take much in overnight!

Mine during the day I feel he wants to eat every 1 and a half! Like he cant wait to get to the 2 hr mark.

Seems like my daughter wants to eat every hour or constantly use me as a pacifier :( it gets frustrating. And she's only two weeks old..

My son is the same way!! I thought I was the only one. He's a piggy lol. He downs the ounces like its nothing
Krystal Ryan·
Definately little piggies! Mine will take 4 oz every 2 hours or less and at night 4.5 every 2.5 hours. But nope you aren't the only one!

I've tried using my son to 4.5 ounces thinking he wasn't getting full enough but he kept throwing it back up. :(
