Baby constantly hungry

When will cluster feeding stop? I think that’s what it is but he will have a feed every hour. Weather I give 4/5 oz he will still wake up and want feeding. He will wake up have an ounce then go back to sleep. Literally fills him for an hour. He is 4 weeks old. Please say they will soon stop. Even when we go out he will wake up and want feeding to settle back off to sleep

I can't help but I am in exactly the same situation!!! I have a three week old who tends to take smaller feeds every hour through the day and night. He tends to fall asleep after a small amount in the night so I can't give him any more and then will want more an hour later and wake me up again!Even when he has a larger feed, he might wake again and want a bit of a top up. It's so tiring!!!

Hey x we had the same. I did the following and worked ( every baby is different)

We changed his milk ( it was like he was taking what he needed but not really enjoying it)
Dream fed him when he went to sleep to make sure he took more ( if he wanted it)
Up the teat size and 1 was making him sleepy from sucking a slow flow of milk.

I tried upping his teat but I could tell it was too fast for him. I’m thinking of changing his milk. He is currently on SMA
