We have twin girls who are two weeks old. One feeds fine and no issue. The other however seems to be obsessed with sucking and will finish with eagerness almost any amount of formula offered. We understood she should be having between 40-60 ml per feed. But our health visitor said if she is still showing cues of hunger then keep feeding. But at 80ml she was still showing obvious cues - and this must be too much for their size of stomach. She also has reflux so often spits up milk after feeds.
If we try and feed her smaller amounts and give her the dummy she spits it out and kicks up a fuss.
Does anyone have experience with this ... I suppose my questions are - why is my baby showing such fervent signs of hunger after draining an amount that is probably too much for her stomach... and what should we do? I will also ask our GP but wondered if anyone had first hand experience.
