5 week old hungry

[beaeavie]

Why is my 5 week old baby soooo hungry all the time is having 4 ounzes every 2 hours sometimes less!! We have tried 5 ounze but she socks up or leaves an ounze ?? Please help ??

Sounds pretty normal - babies this young should be eating every 2-3 hours.

probably a growth spurt they go through them all the time .Its were for like a week or two their appetite go's crazy .Feed on demand

Sounds normal, there’s a big growth spurt at 6 weeks they need to fuel up for

Normal, feed on demand, don't force her to take the whole bottle etc

My 5 week old was having 5oz every 3 hours, draining the bottle and not very settled.

I spoke to a heath visitor on Friday and she advised to up his feed to 6oz if he looks like he wants more as when he shows signs he’s hungry.

I would feed on demand rather than every 2 hours.
