hi everyone

Soo my son zyan is 1month&1 week old An is drinking 180ml (6oz) every 2-3hours I personally feel like its a lot an was considering going To aptamil hungry, just because every time he wakes up he cries so much like he hasn’t eaten for the whole day...

  • You could always try using a slower teat, it can trick babies who eat a lot into thinking they have had more than they have as there stomachs will get full quicker. So your son may drop to 150ml instead, anything from 18 oz-32oz a day is perfectly healthy, Im not sure how he wakesat night, but I essimated a 40-50 ounces a day so YES you are over feeding. You could put less in the bottle, and a slower teat if you can, if you already are you could try a different brand hes young enough to switch!

    Hungry baby milk doesnt work anyway, I put my baby on it for 5 days (till it ran out) and I found she ate MORE! She was on 180ml every 4 hours, then she was on 210 every 3,.. I dont know why but it didnt fill her up. I hope this helps.
