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.

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

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.

Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
