What to do?

Question

My son is 11 weeks and he's drinking 8oz every 3-4 hours, he will drink it all but bring most of it back up and he's still hungry. What milk can I try that will help keep it down and could I try a little taste of baby rice?

Answer

definitely talk with your doctor but he may be eating too much in one go. maybe try feeding less oz more often (like 4oz every 1-2hrs) & see if it stays down better?

Answer

This sounds more like reflux related symptoms than hunger. 8oz seems like a lot at that age. Best to speak to a doctor

Answer

You might be feeding him too much at a time honestly. Do smaller amounts at a time. And he's too young to try anything but formula right now.

Answer

He's definitely not ready for food yet. His diet should only be milk and I don't believe that that amount is appropriate for his age. Talk to your doctor about it.

Answer

Talk to the pediatrician about it

Answer

That seems like A LOT of oz at once for someone that age. I agree with the other posters, give less ounces and more frequently. My daughter didn't start drinking 8oz until she was like 7 months.

Answer

Smaller amounts at a time more often, hold him upright while you feed him, burp him every 2oz, and keep him sitting upright 30min after every feed. These are all the things we were told to do with our son and it's helped.

Answer

If he's spitting it up then it's too much at once. My daughter is 10 weeks and drinks 5-6 ounces at a time.

Answer

Thankyou all, I'll try feeding him less and more frequent and if that doesn't work after a few days I'll talk to the health visitor.
