Over feeding
My little one is almost 3 weeks and currently drinking 5oz formula (normally between 3 and 5 anyway) recently he’s been wanting bottle after bottle. He’s giving me all the hunger cues and just crying for a bottle. I’m so worried I’m overfeeding him but of course don’t want to not give him it when he’s hungry. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there anything I should be doing? Or simply just feed him as he’s hungry?

Oh thank you so much lovely. That definitely eases me a bit! I’ll definitely speak to them x
Mine has been doing the same she drinks between 3/4oz then wants another oz or half an hour later x
@Lauren of course! It’s so nerve wracking isn’t it!! My little one seems to be going a good 4 hours without wanting a feed since upping her but I think a growth spurt is coming soon! 🙈😂 x
Midwife said to me there's nothing like over feeing, if baby is giving cues that he's hungry feed him. My lil one seems hungry all the time and is drinking 5oz at the moment

I felt the same, my little one is on 4oz and she’s 18 days old, the midwife says to just follow her cues and she will let me know if she’s full or she’ll simply just be sick if she’s too full! Maybe speak to your midwife or health visitor and get their opinion! 🥰
