1 week old eating too much?

Question

My baby is 1 week and 4 days old and 3 OZ barely keeps her satisfied for 2 hours. I’m trying to hold off and not over feed her but my husband just wants to keep giving her bottles. Is this normal?

Answer

There's a growth spurt/clusterfeeding period around 1 week old. Yes, bottle fed babies go through this too. Be sure to pace feed, but you can't really do anything else than feed on demand.

Answer

I wouldn't worry. You're doing great. If she is polishing off 3 oz then offer her 4oz as she may want 3 and a half oz let's say.
As she is a newborn I think from what I remember as their stomachs are only small if she is eating too much she will bring it up x

Answer

Let the baby eat if shes hungry
