Is 4oz too much ?

Question

My daughter is now 3 weeks old I have been feeding her 3 oz every 3 hours but sometimes I feed her an extra ounce. Is 4oz too much for her ?

Answer

At 3 weeks your baby will go through a growth spurt, and it is normal for them to ask for more food. Feed on demand and burp often. The growth spurt usually last a few days. My son was eating every hour and once he ate 6oz, to me it was very scary. Keep tracking the amount of food your baby eats, the glow baby app is great for that, in the end my son ate about 2 oz more when he was clustering and it lasted about 5 days. You can look up a  chartwith the  estimated   growth spurts, to keep in mind for planning the feedings. the first is 3 weeks and i believe the second is at 6 weeks. It helps keeping an eye on them, especially if you will get assistance with care like daycare, a sitter, or family member / spouse helping etc.
