Am I doing this right?!
My 7wk old is drinking 4.5-5 oz every 2.5-3 hours. He’s been taking this amount for a couple weeks but usually is hungry around 2.5 hours. It’s a push to make it to three usually. I’ve read around 2 mths they should be drinking 4-5 oz but usually going 3-4 hrs between feedings. Am I doing something wrong? Should I be trying to make him wait longer for feedings? He is already a big baby. Around 14 lbs. (birth weight was 8lbs 9 oz) about to move into 3 mth clothes soon. Everyone always sees him and ask how old and when I say he’s age, their eyes get big like they can’t believe he’s as young as he is. I love my chunky monkey. I just worry about childhood obesity since I’ve always had issues with weight and want to start him off healthy as possible. I’ve read over feeding a baby can lead to childhood obesity. Am I doing something wrong
* PSA-please don’t tell me I should talk to my pediatrician. I plan on talking to his pediatrician as his visit next week. I’m just wanting yalls guidance or opinions on it til then. Thanks.
