Hi mommies How much and how often does your 5 week old eat. Feeling like 6oz is too much for his belly but he still acts hungry and roots after 4oz 🤔🤔

Are you paced feeding? That is a lot for a 5 week old.

He might be cluster feeding for eating for comfort my daughter did this and would throw up what her tummy didn’t have room for

@laniejay, I haven’t given him 6 oz yet bc I figured it had to be too much I didn’t want him to throw up he currently gets 4oz every 3 hours

@mrscecco316, ok I have yet to give him 6 oz but he acts like I should

Even 4 oz is a lot for a little belly. Be sure you pace feed. There’s great images and videos of you google, bit the gist of it is that you hold them more upright and control the flow. It should take 5 mins per ounce. Burp in between every ounce.
