Hungry baby
My little girl is 5 weeks old and up until yesterday was having 4oz every 3 hours. Today she has completely thrown me off. She wanted another bottle after 2 hours so for the next feed I gave her 5oz thinking that if she wanted another bottle sooner then maybe 4oz isn’t enough now as she’s growing. She finished the 5oz bottle and then 2 hours later again, she was hungry. Like I said, it’s completely thrown me off and I guess I just want to know if anyone else’s little ones have done similar?

My 5 week old is also feeding so much the past 3 days! Xx
We had the same last week so upped to 5oz however have now gone back to 4 as he kept getting really bad reflux after his feeds.
It could either be a wee growth spurt or baby has a sore tummy. Often when they have a sore tummy they think they’re hungry.. so give hunger queues. Likely if they’re not showing any discomfort that it’s just a growth spurt though x
Same here we’re doing a few 6oz now but my boy was jaundice when born and my mum said I was exactly the same we were both born at 36 weeks and around the 5 week mark both of us suddenly became hungry xxx

Mine is 5 weeks old aswell and he’s doing something similar. They could be going through a growth spurt where they’ll just want more milk. It might only last for a day or 2 though x
