Not eating after a bigger feed
I don’t know if this is normal my lo is 2 weeks old and he had 4oz at 12 but at his 3 o’clock feed only had 1oz and he still isn’t hungry is it worth calling someone

Not not worth it. Sometimes they just don’t want to eat. It’s typically like 1oz per hour. So like you fed 3 hours ago but did 4 oz. Their bellies are sooo tiny so 4oz is a lot. So they might be full for another hour or two.
A 2 week old should be drinking 2-3 oz per feed. His tummy is probably still full. Also try not to feed exactly by the clock. Go by your baby's feeding cues! Think of it as "8 or more (feedings) in 24 (hours)" rather than "exactly every 3 hours."
@Becca thank you xx
Of course! ❤️
4oz is way too much for a 2 week old. His belly is incredibly small. You’ll stretch his tummy and overfeed him. 1-1.5oz per hour. Pacefeeding maybe starting with 2oz. That’s 8oz in 3 hrs that you were offering
