Ive been struggling to find the right amount for DS to eat. It seems like he's wayyyyy hungry all the time.
WHen you feed DC do they stop eating BEFORE bottle runs out? DC almost ALWAYS gets to the end of the bottle, and I have to take it away. His mouth still is ready to suck for a minute but Idk if its because he was just sucking or he's looking for more.
I am concerned because he's 1 month now and already at 4 oz a feeding....
Re: another FFing Q
We have been taking the bottle out of her mouth at 3-3.5 oz and burping her. Then if she is satisfied and doesn't starting rooting and crying, we stop there. Sometimes she needs a full 4 oz, sometimes she's satisfied at 3.
But if I waited for her to stop eating before taking the bottle out of her mouth, she'd polish off a 4 oz bottle every time.
We went to her 1 month checkup today and she was already 10lb 4oz (was 8lb 1oz at birth), so I was worried she was eating too much, but Dr. said she was in the 77th percentile and that she was doing fine and not overfed. She just said to not use the bottle as a pacifier - to try changing her diaper, walking around, changing her positions - before giving her a bottle - just to make sure she really is hungry.
So if YS is taking 4 oz regularly at 1 month, that sounds about right from what I was told.
