Feeding

Hi everyone, My little one is 4 weeks on Tuesday. We are exclusively formula fed. Since last week we started giving him 4oz (every 4 hours) which he finishes well. However, over the last few days he is getting hungry just after the 3 hours mark so my Husband and I decided to give him 5oz from today (which he drank well). He spits up occasionally but not vomiting. I just wanted to check if this is okay as i’m worried about over feeding him.

My LO is 4 weeks on Wednesday and we make her 6oz which she drinks most of every 4 hours or just less. The HV and Midwife said if she didn’t want it or couldn’t handle the extra milk she would just vomit so she won’t be being over fed x

Every baby is different so it’s hard to stick to guidelines and they are just guidelines after all not the rules. If your baby is hungry then feed him 😊 Honestly don’t be afraid of over feeding xx

My baby is 4 weeks tomorrow and has 4oz 2-3 hourly (mostly 2 hourly), we tried upping to 5oz but she was throwing it back up! If he takes it let him have it, let him take the lead xx

My LO is only 3 weeks tomorrow and is up to 6 ounces per feed. If your baby is taking it and not sick I would say its fine! Ll babies are different! He would stop drinking if he didn't want it x
