4wk LO: How much does your LO weight and how much do they eat?

Question

4wk 7lbs 5.5oz (prob more now) LO he spends 15min on each boob but wants more food...
Do I keep him on the boobs longer or give him formula?
He just finished 1.5oz formula too and wants more 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

8 weeks and probably 10 lbs by now, she was born at 6 lbs and was really small but now she eats 4 oz exactly every two hours, formula.

Answer

There’s a growth spurt around 4-6 weeks so he’s probably cluster feeding to tell your body he needs more milk. If you want to exclusively breastfeed, I would skip the formula and let him nurse as much as he wants, as frequently as he wants.
