My son is about a week old and he wants to get fed every hour or two. Is that normal for babies like him to get fed…

Yes absolutely , he’s only a week old . Heck Ella was still doing that occasionally at 1year old lol.

Yes very normal.

@ella__little__bliss, ok because i thought I was over feeding him

@mamagunn.no.1, thanks cause I thought he was being over feed

@yelitzagarcia70, I’m not sure if you can over feed a newborn ... wait are you bottle feeding or breastfeeding .

I mean I don’t think it matters . Because 2-3 hours sounds about right to me . It’s better he over eats, than you worry about him not eating . I was worried my daughter wasn’t getting enough . That was stressful lol.

@ella__little__bliss, bottle feeding formula

@ella__little__bliss, yeah my baby is a big baby that’s why I was concern about me feeding him more then his in take

@yelitzagarcia70, well maybe it would make you feel better if you talk to his pediatrician? Just in case . But everything sounds fine to me 😁

@ella__little__bliss, yeah i will cause my mom was confer about is yummy looking a little big

If you're talking about breastfeeding, at this age they are establishing your milk supply, meaning they feed frequently to get your body to produce the right amount of milk for their needs.

@yelitzagarcia70 if his tummy's looking big it could be gas but if you're worried spk to your midwife. I think it's unlikely at this age to be related to feeding, as their weight gets distributed fairly evenly.

@honeymoonblessing, thanks a lot

@bitchcraft, he gets feed 2 oz

@yelitzagarcia70 no problem. Oh and one last thing is comfort. It's another reason they feed frequently.

@honeymoonblessing, oh ok thanks

My son just turned 4 months and I’ve been nursing him every hour or two since he was 3 weeks old. I’m not sure about bottle feeding but as long as he’s not throwing up or screaming with gas pain then he’s probably fine.

@2sweetie, thanks it helps a lot
