Looking for some advice, my little boy is 8weeks old and is on cow &gate anti colic milk but after every feed he still seems extra hungry, should I change him to hungry baby or just bare with, he’s on 5oz

If he leaves 1/2 an oz, he can’t be hungry for more right? X

I mean like 20 minutes later he’s wanting more

I would just try upping his formula to 6oz and going from there x

My little boy is on the same formula so I'm assuming you use it similar reasons as us. If it works for his colic I'd keep using it but up the amount a bit. Does he use a dummy? He might just like the suckling motion for comfort. As long as he's getting the recommended amount in a 24hr period and not loads more he'll be fine

My health advisor told me if baby is drinking the full bottle and still hungry increase by another oz. If he's finishing the bottle but doesn't drink much of another made bottle then just add another scoop of formula to the amount you already give, so if it's 5 scoops per 5oz do 6 scoops instead of 5 It could also be that he's having a growth spurt and needing a bit extra.

follow babies lead with amount of milk, i wouldn’t recommend switching to a hungry baby formula, they just clog them up x

Are you sure it’s more he wants 20 mins later? Or it’s not discomfort from gas / tiredness and they think they need to suck to soothe? Just seems strange they’re leaving some but then want more so quickly xx
