My two week old daughter is wanting to eat every 10-20 minutes even throughout the night and acts like she’s still hungry any suggestions on what to do about that?

she was eating every 5 minutes when just getting breast fed so we tried both and now it’s every 10-20 minutes

she’s cluster feeding to try and regulate your supply. Adding formula will only hurt your supply. The first few weeks of breastfeeding are rough as heck, but my suggestion would be to discontinue the use of the formula and let her nurse as she pleases. At only 2 weeks old your milk supply is so new she’s trying to increase your production of milk to what her tummy needs. It’s NOT easy but it’s worth it. Maybe contact your hospital and ask to be put in contact with a lactation consultant 😊

Let her eat when she’s hungry, she is cluster feeding.. she’s regulating your milk supply
