Is it too much milk?

Bubba is 6 weeks. He was having almost 4 ounces of expressed breast milk every 4 hours. He’s now crying for milk every 2 hours and finishing 5 ounce bottles and is very fussy. Surely it’s too much milk for such a tiny bubba. How are your little ones feeding?

My 4 week old has 5 ounce every 3 hours 😆 he’s a very greedy boy x

My 7 weeks old takes 6oz every 2-3 hours and is still hungry sometimes, doctor today said can’t over feed just give what he wants and he will sick it up if it’s too much

Did you try offering her pacifier? May be he just wants to suck and soothe himself

Sounds like you are going through a leap. My daughter did the same between 6 and 7 weeks, crazy demand in breast milk - about 4oz every 2-3 hours. Now we are going onto 8 weeks, and she is having 2oz - 3oz every 2 hours. We offer her a pacifier when she isn't feeding.

I try the dummy with him but he tends to spit it out or it makes him gag. So it’s very difficult
