So my LO is 6 weeks & he is currently having 90ml every two hours& has been for quite a while, but I’ve noticed an hour after feeding he’s hungry again. So recently I’ve been trying to feed him 120ml but he never finishes the bottle and will only finish it an hour after the initial feed.
Is there a way to increase his intake of milk so his feedings are spaced out more and I don’t end up feeding him an hour after he has already fed

No advice but would also like to know as experiencing the same with my little girl. She’s 7 weeks and think she’s going through a growth spurt because she’s feeding like no tomorrow atm but not taking more than 120ml in one go x

My boy does this aswel!

My 8week old only takes 90ml but every 3h , sometimes at night when sleepy she would do 120ml or even during the day when sleepy . So might try feeding when still barely awake ? Oh also when she does take 120ml she does spill , probably 120ml is too much for her 🫣

My little boy is 6 weeks on tuesday. He has 120ml every 2 hours, but sometimes he will only take 60mls then have a 30 minute nap then finish it off. During the night though he wakes every 2 to 3 hoirs and will have 60 to 90mls and then sleep until his next feed.
I was told to not try and solve feeds out so young and to just feed on demand, so right now it's all when they want it
