I'm getting so stressed from this. My son is 3 weeks old and likes to eat. I bumped his 2 oz up to 4 oz because that's what satisfied him. I took him to his pediatrician the other day and told her and she said I was over feeding him. But if I give him ANY less he will be still showing hunger cues and crying. Help
He weighs 8.5 lbs if that helps
I wouldn’t listen to the pediatrician when it comes to feeding him, you are home with your baby so you know your child best.. & just like everything else all babies are different, some can survive off of those little feedings & some have bigger appetites like my son he was a hungry infant & when my son was an infant I fed him whenever he wanted a bottle & didn’t have any issues with him being over fed..
@sleepymommy he does have tummy issues but when I hold him he turns his head towards my chest and puts his fist in his mouth and gets mad
I van usually tell when it's a tummy ache
I’m going through the same thing! Frank seems hungry all the time but my doctor didn’t say anything about over feeding. As long he is gaining weight that’s all she cared about. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I think mines get a tummy ache and confuses with hunger, just wants to be loved and close to heart. I give him a little time to calm down then try to put him to bed. Still trying to figure out what’s causing the gassiness.
