So yes I will call my pediatrician Monday but my LO acts like he is starving randomly the last couple of days. This evening especially. He was 9.2 when born and 9.14 at his 2 week appt and he continuously is a little Buddha baby. Per pediatrician almost 3 weeks ago he said to make a 6 oz bottle. Just past few days he's finished those. He normally eats every 2.5-3 hrs during day and about every 4 at night.
Past 48 hrs he's been ravenous. Don't know what he weighs currently. I'm a nurse and will have DH bring him by my work on Monday (my first day back) to weigh on digital scales) but he's crying like crazy baby before even 2 hours.
I'm already having friends tell me put cereal in bottle. I would never do this without pediatrician ok but jugs wondering if anyone else has big baby On formula going through same thing. He was sometimes taking 5-6 ozs and sometimes taking 4. But today he starving acting. I don't want to over feed but he's sucking the air. Thanks in advance.
Re: Starving formula baby
How old is LO now?....could it be a growth spurt? I know you do formula, and it's a blit different, but during a growth spurt my Dd would nurse until my boobs fell off if I would let her.

6 oz does sound like a lot for one bottle, but I would never withhold food from a hungry baby, so if he's demanding it and not spitting up afterward, I say keep giving him what he asks for. Especially if your pedi has already approved.

Also sounds like growth spurt. The 6-weeker is craaaazy. We had what I thought was a spurt at 5 weeks, but it was actually just a leap. He's going through the 6 weeker now and fed at 9, took a 5 oz BM bottle at 10, and fed again at 10.
