My lil boy is almost 3 weeks and i give him 2 ounces every hour….hes always hungry. should i start giving him like 4 ounces every 3 or 4 hours?

My 2 week old baby drinks 3 oz ( which most of it she end up spitting out ) every 2 to 3 hours… She just never seemed to get enough…But when i took her to her first dr visit she didn’t gained anything ..So now i try and feed her when ever she’s hungry

I would try and fill a bottle with about 3-4 ounces and see if he will take it all. Every baby is different. My son is 4 1/2 months old and only drinks on average about 3oz every 3 hours. He is gaining weight fine and is hitting his milestones. But I would deff. try filling a bottle with more formula. If he takes the whole thing, wait to see when he starts to get hungry fussy again. I keep a journal and write down everytime my son eats and how much. Its so much easier then trying to remember. You just have to test the waters. He might even want more! You never know. But your baby knows when he is hungry and full, so don’t think you are ‘over-feeding’ him. Its impossible unless you force it down his throat!
