Hungry baby

My 10 week old is on 6oz but doesn’t always drink the whole thing, but is hungry every 2 hours still? I know it’s not the case of needing to up her ounce because then she would be finishing the bottle. We use cow and gate, should we try the hungry formula instead?

My son is 6 now but I remember him feeding every 2 hours for quite a while, despite increasing the amount of ozs. Speak to your health visitor maybe for some advice. We personally never used hungry baby milk so can’t advise. X

Mine is 11 weeks and sometimes doesn't finish a bottle then will be hungry again after about 1.5 hours and drink a couple of ounces of breastmilk (I combination feed formula and breastmilk atm)

My 10 week old is a notorious snacker. She can drain 6oz once or twice a day but most of the time she acts ravenous 1.5 to 2 hours after a bottle and will have 60-100mls, drives me nuts but she will not let us eeek it out to make sure she gets a full bottle, she can’t stand even being a tiny bit hungry

My 10 week old girl rarely goes more than 2 hours between day-feeds and has 5oz a time. It's only at night that she'll have a couple of 4-hour gaps x

My little girl is the exact same feeding every 2 hours and my family keep telling me to put her on the hungry formula. It’s also frustrating because my family keep on telling me that she’s practically chubby and that I need to get her weighed she’s 13 weeks old

This is all so reassuring to read

My little girl has started doing exactly the same. She seems to be going through a phase of only wanting 3oz instead of 5 or 6oz and then is hungry again in about 2 hours. X

My girl is hungry every 2 hours too. Shes 10 weeks old. I asked my health visitor this morning if she should be going longer between feeds but I’ve been advised to just go with whatever she wants. HV said it’s very normal for them to still feed every 2 hours. We feed 5oz 5/6 times per day. She will often leave an oz.

My lo takes a feed every 1.5 to 2 hours with around a 4 hour nap in a day and then an 7-9 hour sleep at night. Her feeds vary between 4-6 oz each feed. She’s combi fed.

I have always fed on demand so I never check times . My hv said this is fine as baby is still gaining weight at a good pace. She did say to me that don’t be too fixated on when they feed as it can change all the time, if they are hungry they will soon let you know.

My lo might also have 4oz one feed then the next one a whole 6oz bottle it varies all the time. I wouldn’t worry too much.
