Hi all,
I’m a new parent. I don’t have any experience with a newborn and I’m following all advice given but I’m a bit stuck on what to do with my baby’s feeding
He’s 5 weeks old and a super hungry baby. I keep asking the midwives and healthcare professionals what I should be doing. He’s gone up to 6 oz every 3 hours and he still seems hungry. I’m getting told to up his feed by another oz but is that not too much for a a 5 week old to be on 7oz every 3 hours? I thought baby’s were meant to up the feed and decrease the time he feeds but he’s still starving every 3 hours. We’ve changed his milk to Kendamil which is full fat and he loves it. He spits up quite a bit which I thought was meant to mean overspill so I’m a bit stuck with what to do
He’s also waking up before 3 hours to feed again
I feed him slowly and he burps regularly to see if that works but he still eats the whole lot
Sorry for the inexperience I just want the best for him
