Baby never full please help
So I’ve been on a never ending cycle lately with my 7 week old boy
Usually, he takes around 3 1/2 ounces of breastmilk pumped sometimes when he’s having a growth spurt, I’ll just keep adding an extra ounce
Lately it’s taking him almost an hour to an hour and a half to finish a bottle
And then in another 20 to 30 minutes, it’s time to start all over again
And that’s with me adding an ounce at least one to three times depending on the feed
Hope this made sense
He’s just not satisfied and I cannot be feeding him literally all day long like this
Is it too early to add anything to his milk?
Now he’s demanding more it’s stressing me out because I’m barely making enough

Agree with above. Maybe a bigger teat size will help?
@Susie like go up to a size 2?
You can try that and see if he finishes his bottle more easily.
Definitely don't add anything to his milk, as this shouldn't be done at any age! It shouldn't take that long to finish a bottle though, so perhaps try a bigger teat size
@Rebecca I’m confused on how bigger size would be quicker? I have different bottles that he does finish faster but I notice he spits up more and is more fussy when I use them 🤦♀️ I’m in a nutshell beyond
Don't add anything to his milk, it shouldn't be done at any age. Use the bottle you are currently using and try a bigger teat. If the other bottles make him spit up I wouldn't use them

He’s cluster feeding which is completely normal. Farrr too early to add anything to the milk! At most you could supplement with some formula
