Am I feeding too much?

Question

So my baby is just a few days over 6 weeks. He drinks 4oz every 3-4 hours but today I noticed that he’s been wanting milk every 2 hours after having 4oz?! Is this normal?? Or am I overfeeding and mistaking it for fussiness 🤔

Answer

Same here. I think it’s the 6 week growth spurt. :/

Answer

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one going through this... I only give my LO 2 maybe 2.5 oz every 2.5-3 hours. The last few days he seemed like he wanted more.. so we were giving him 3+oz. He seemed so miserable after every meal. And I just tried to give him 3 oz this evening... And he was so happy afterwards, I for sure think I over fed him. He just couldn't get comfortable and had his legs stiff, and kept sucking his tongue out. 😩 Not doing that again.
