Is something wrong with my baby?

Question

My daughter is 13 days old. I feed her 100ml of expressed breastmilk. The midwife told me she should be eating every 3-4 hours. But she seems to be hungry again 1-2 hours after eating. Wind isn’t a problem. 
Could she be one of those people with the syndrome where they always feel hungry? I’m stressing out!

Answer

You're joking, right? You think she has a syndrome because she's hungry? She's a baby... there's nothing wrong with her eating. If your child is hungry, you feed them. It's a pretty basic concept. Our daughter was eating about 3 ounces every 2ish hours at that age as well (formula fed, if that happens to matter to some of you). She's always been a very happy and HEALTHY little girl.

Answer

Breast milk digests a lot quick than formula milk. Formula fed babies will feed every 3-4 hours but breastfed babies can get hungry up to an hour later

Answer

Probably not, she probably is just like most babies and doesn’t fit the “textbook” eating habits they try to assign. My son is formula fed and by one month was still preferring eating every 2 hours over eating every 4

Answer

She simply asked a question no need to jump down her throat and say her question is stupid. She’s asking questions so she’ll know not to be judged. She’ll let let you know when she’s full if she’s hungry just feed her again. I had that same question with my first baby And my mom told me with breastfed babies it’s normal for them to be hungry with in a hour or so. I use to think I was over feeding him but his doctor let me know I wasn’t and he’ll let me know when he doesn’t wanna feed.

Answer

My baby ate at least every two hours for months! Completely normal, don’t freak out.

Answer

3-4 hours is the maximum time, it’s ok if she’s hungry sooner. She’s probably going through a growth spurt

Answer

My oldest fed every 1.5-2 hours for MONTHS. Breastmilk is digested faster/more efficiently than formula!
My little one is now 10 months old and still feeds every 2 hours. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That’s how he rolls!

Answer

Breastfed babies eat every 2-3 hours normally. But they will eat even more often when going through a growth spurt.

Answer

My baby would eat every hour, she was a horrible snacker. Doctor said she was fine and gaining just the right amount of weight.

Answer

Many babies don’t follow the normal guidelines. Mine didn’t I just fed him when he acted hungry
