i have a 2 week old son, Everything is wonderful but he is feeding alot!!! i know this is good thing but i feel he isnt getting full from his feeds, he sometimes takes 4 oz and then is hungry again 2 hours later and takes anher few oz. i did think of trying the hungrier baby food but it he is already having alittle bit of trouble pooing, going every 3 days but poo is soft and he is passing it ok, i fear the hungrier baby milk will make it difficult to have his bowels open. any advice welcomed

He is still tiny so it can't take that much in one go. I wouldn't worry about it and I wouldn't change the milk. It is completely and utterly normal. .

It is totally normal for a tiny baby to feed frequently. Don't worry.

meant to say, dd was always a frequent feeder, and at nearly 2 is still more of a grazer. I just went with it.

Hi, mine is 3weeks and was reading a book as he is feeding every hour especially at night read that he is going through a growth spurt which generally happens every few weeks. i feel like my breast are turning to chapatis.

do not give hungry baby milk, what you are decribing is normal new born behaviour

feeding every two hours is normal

he has a tiny tummy that needs filling very often

he will have a big tummy ache from hungrier baby milk, and he does not need it, he is just doing what newborns do
