Why is my one month old eating so much??

He's taking in 4.5 oz every 3 hours (we're FF).  Sometimes he doesn't even make it to 3 hours - at 2 1/2 hour he's stiring and crying to be feed.  I'm so confused cause I read about 3-4 month olds taking in 4 oz/feeding and LO is taking in that much already at a month old.  I don't want to over feed him Sad

    DS was the same way. At 6 weeks he was eating 6 oz every 2.5-4 hours (depending on the day).  He's just hungry.  At 4 months DS eats 4 jars of fruits/veggies and around 18 oz a day (per the pedi).  He's in the 50th percentile for a 9 month old.  You have to look at how big he was at birth and how big you and your husband are.  I'm 5'7' and DH is 6'5'... DS has a long way to go to catch up with us!!

    Good luck!

    Yup! My DD is doing the same thing. We are FF also. She eats 4-5 ounces every 3 hours and sometimes cries at 2.5 hours... I wish I knew why...my pedi doesn't seem concerned. They probably just have a healthy appetite...

    THANK YOU! DS is eating 4 oz and he will be one month on Tuesday. My friend's 3 month old eats this much! I'm worried as well!

    my daughter eats 6 ozs every 3 hours and my new pediatrican told me today that as long as she is keeping it down, she is hungry and never restrict her. 

    **My old pediatrician told me to cut down and give her water. Um..she knows the difference! ughh!
