Constipated/hungry??

She has a mixture of breastmilk and Kendamil infant formula, she is giving signs of being hungry. Hand to mouth, searching with her mouth but she’s on 3 ounces and she’s giving hungry ques quite frequently after drinking the full 3.
You could maybe try 4oz instead of 3 and see how she gets on.. I struggled when my baby was newborn with this when I was breastfeeding as he was so fussy, I thought he was in pain with wind but turned out he was hungry and just needed more.. baby’s cluster feed so potentially she just needs a little more
Yeah I’ll try her up to 4, the last few hours she’s occasionally be chilled and make a noise as though she is in pain then cry too? But whilst doing that she goes on to showing signs of hunger c
I would stop counting the oz. We did that for our first and she was doing the same thing - until the pediatrician recommended just feed her more even though she was already getting around double what the “standard” amount was. Also sometimes changing formula helps if they are having stomach pain issues
If she’s having dirty nappies then she won’t be constipated. What’s making you think she is? She could be fussy due to gas/tummy pain. Is she burping okay? Or she could just be extra hungry going through a growth spurt. Does she cheer up after feeds? Is she sleeping well/ could she be tired? It’s a total guessing game with babies. Process of elimination x
Yeah I think it could be gas or tummy ache, I do try to get a burp out of her but sometimes she’s doesn’t. Yeah usually she’s fine after a feed just wanting more. She sleeps well too
Is she giving you signs that she’s hungry? Maybe it can be something else? What are you usually feeding her throughout the day? Are you feeding her? Anything different? Maybe something is upsetting her stomach.
