still have hungry after 4oz bottle?

Question

My daughter will be 9 wks old tomorrow and is combo fed (formula and bm via bottle) she's been eating 4oz but always cries like she's hungry once she finishes. Should I up the oz per feed? Anyone else go through this?

Answer

Anyone know the best way to do 5oz formula since it's one scoop per 2oz of water? I make her bottles individually and I'm afraid of backing her up again by trying to do half a scoop

Answer

I mostly breastfeed but sometimes need to top my LO off with 1-2 oz of pumped breast milk or formula. Some babies will need more milk, especially if it is hot. As long as they are acting hungry, I feel it is ok to give them more. I usually wait 10-20 though, unless he is screaming his head off.  My LO is 8 weeks old btw.
