How much baby eating
My baby eats around 4oz per feed but
Recently he’s been acting like he’s still hungry afterwoods, he’s 5 weeks old and feel like it’s quite a lot for a 5 week old, I’ve been trying to combi feed try get as much breast milk as he can. But mostly is on formula on most feeds.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has experience that as well.

My baby’s 6weeks today and he’s been on 5oz just over a week now and sometimes he looks like he wants more, but sometimes don’t have the full 5oz, usually drinks 5oz at day and 2 and half oz at night, I reckon he will be on 6oz end of next week xx
My daughter is 6 weeks old and has been having 5oz at 4 weeks with bottles, I’m breastfeeding and pump so my partner and mum can help feed sometimes. She will have 5oz from a bottle so must get the same from me xx
I think it’s ok to increase if the baby wants more! They don’t really overfeed at this age. Don’t worry about too much - they regulate themselves pretty well. Mine will occasionally take 6 for their night time feed! But then takes 4 or 5 throughout the day at 5 weeks.
