  • That sounds about like what we were going through at 3 weeks old.

  • The one thing I learned about babies is that once it seems like you can predict what they are going to do or they are on a schedule of some kind they change it up! Is she BF or FF or both?  If you give her formule try putting a few extra ML's/ 1/2 oz in her bottle to see if she'll take it.  Often w/ growth spurts they want/need a little bit more.

  • she seems ok when i give her 2oz, but she is soooo content when i give her 3oz. is that too much for a 3 week old? she KO's right after a 3oz bottle. (and i try to BF, but have been EPing unfortunately).

  • My LO takes a little over 3oz for the overnight feedings and then sleeps for 3 hours.  During the day today, I had to feed him every hour.  He would take a couple ounces each time.  Must be a little growth spurt.  I could just not fill him up!

  • if shes content with 3oz then keep giving her that.  they let us know how much they want.  I exclusively pumped for 4 months so hang in there! :)
