How much formula is too much?

Question

My baby is 6 weeks old and drinks 150ml of formula every 3 hours. Is this too much? If I give her less, she cries for more. She currently weighs 4.7kg

Answer

Feed on demand! At 6 weeks my guy was eating 6oz every 2 hours. Our ped was stoked about it at his 2 month appointment. Please DO NOT limit the amount of food you give your baby. They are growing so much! They will let you know when they are full.

Answer

Just feed on demand. Some babies are more demanding ☺️

Answer

Feed your baby till they aren’t wanting anymore. They don’t know how to over eat so if you are feeding a set limit the you could be starving them.

Answer

Well, I would say that it’s a touch too much for a six week old, but if that’s what’s filling her up then that’s what’s filling her up. At six weeks my boy was having 3 ounces.
But if you are concerned, contact the doctor.
