My 9 week old is still only taking 2oz every 2 hours but starts to get hungry again after 1&1/2 hours!

She's on comfort sma as she suffered from silent reflux which I think has definitely settled down. She's on size 2 teats and I tried 3 which was too fast so it's not the teats.

Does anyone think I should try hungrier baby milk?

Feeding every 2 hours is normal at this age. I've heard that hungry baby milk can give babies constipation so I probably wouldn't. My nephew fed (bf) every 90 minutes until he was 12 weeks and then suddenly spread his feeds out. I think it's common for babies to start going a bit longer between feed at around 3 months so I'd definitely wait until then at least. Can you even get Hungry baby Comfort milk???

The hungry baby milk doesn't have any extra calories, it just takes longer to digest so you would effectively be putting her on a reduced calorie diet. I'd talk to your GP about the reflux first Smile
