Baby boy has 150ml of formula and can't even make 3 hours. Is that normal?
He is 3 weeks old. A good weight. I recently upped his feed from 120ml to 150ml as he was asking to be fed after 2 hours. Now he has more (doesn't always finish the bottle) and he still can't go past 3 hours. Is that normal. Feel like I over feed him offering him so much so regularly.

both my boys were the same.. as long as he isnt uncomfortable.. or throwing it back up again. This Is what I've been doing xx
Mine is the opposite, only takes small amounts, but HV said as long as baby is gaining weight, has plenty wet & dirty nappies, it’s fine. Babies are smart and know how much they need to eat. Although could it be that the formula is too thin?
Are you doing paced feeding? Apparently that can help.

I was always told to make sure you making enough that baby always leaves half to 1 ounce so you know they’re full. We fed every 3-4 hours till about 8 months old tbh, I found if he didn’t want it he wouldn’t take it! I wouldn’t worry too much. I was feeding about 4-5oz at 3 weeks old people kept saying it was too much, but he was taking it and wasn’t in any pain or being fussy
