Hi so just welcomed baby number 2 the most beautiful baby boy 🥰 however I seem To have forgotten much of what it was like from the first time around. So just looking for some advice/reassurance.

he was a big bub 9lb 4oz he will be 2 weeks tomorrow 🥰 but always I mean always seems to be hungry. He will take 90ml a feed most of his feeds with the occasional 120ml ( we offer 120mls most feeds as he has been draining the 90ml). He will often sleep 3ish hours throughout the days and we will sometimes have to wake him for a feed.

through the night however he’s up maybe every 1.5-2hrs chewing his hands etc so I’m assuming he’s hungry. Just wondering is this normal? To be this hungry? And does it settle? I understand he’s only 2 weeks also! I’m not expecting miracles nor is the lack of sleep an issue I’m just conscience that I don’t want to be over feeding him and causes any problems 😬TIA

Sorry that you haven't had any replies yet @Hickpusher2022. It's a bit quiet in this bit, the Infant Feeding section is busier.

Congratulations on your new DS. How are things now?

You could try offering every 2.5 hours during the day in the hopes that he will go at least 3 hours at night.
