My 4 week old has been drinking up to 5oz bottles! He doesn’t always have the full bottle, but does sometimes. He has been drinking 5oz since 3.5 weeks! Anyone have the same? I’m so worried I am overfeeding him but he’s showing all the hunger cues and pushes the bottles way / stops when he’s finished.

Honestly these 2026 babies are different 🤣🤣 my 3 week old is pretty much on 5 now he’s taking about 4.5 at the moment every 4 hours… no don’t worry you’re over feeding him! He will take what he needs! I was the same but honestly I remembered what I was like with my first and thought no.. every baby is different and if my baby is gaining weight having plenty of wet nappies, pooping, eating and sleeping and isn’t poorly I’ll give him as much as he needs.. if he is showing you hunger cues when he isn’t due a bottle try a dummy (mine is exactly the same but he isn’t hungry he is just a very snuggly sucky baby…)

5 ounce every 3 hours during the day. But only 2 bottles on a night (between midnight and 8am. He's just over a month old..

They go through like 3 growth spurts before they aren’t classed as newborns anymore.. one at 4 weeks one at 6 and one at 8.. they are also learning how to get into a routine and finding what suits them as well as sleeping etc x

You’re doing great though!! 😇😇 x

5oz 7-8 times a day. He's 5 weeks

My daughter is 8 months old now but she has been drinking 7-8oz each feed since she was 2 weeks old. At 3 weeks she was hospitalized for something completely different and the doctors were amazed at how much she was drinking, she also had huge pees because of it but they were happy with it and said she was doing great!
She’s now in the 99th percentile for height and weight and wearing 2T/3T so we just take it as she’s a hungry growing baby and she eats what she wants when she wants ♥️
