Anyone else’s baby constantly hungry?
I EBF for a month and had to introduce formula as he was just feeding constantly and I wasn’t filling him up.
Now he has breast and formula, he’s still always hungry! He had 4 oz an hour ago and now hungry again is this normal?!
He was born 8lb9 and is over 10lb now.

With BF there are all sorts of reasons they like to be on the breast other than just feeding. If they are gaining weight and also getting plenty of wet & dirty nappies then they are getting enough. If you're wanting to keep breastfeeding then best to drop the formula if they're doing the above
I still want to combi feed just not sure why he eats so much 😂
The good thing with BF is that he'll take as much as he need :) though obviously a balance with formula. If you're worried about over feeding, increase the BF and if you're worried about under feeding then use nappies & weight gain to measure it.
this is happening to me! He’s always starving!
He also might be having a growth spurt! My little boy slept for 9.5 hours last night?!?
Mine is always feeding too!! He’s 6 and a half weeks and apparently it’s the growth spurt… I’ve had to combi feed given circumstances
Yes!! Mine is 6 weeks and never seems satisfied after hours of BF, so we always end up giving formula at the end of a cluster feed to settle him.
You’re doing great ❤️
