Feeding seven week old
Is it normal for a seven week old to drink more than 150 ml formula milk during each feeding? My kid relaxes for sometime and again starts crying after sometime. Sometimes he's full at 90ml. I'm worried if I might be overfeeding. He doesn't seem to show any discomfort during feedings though. He is passing stools and urine frequently too. Please suggest.
If your baby is around 4 kilograms he requires 500 to 600 ml per day. That you can divide and give according to how frequently you are giving. If you are giving up to 800ml also is ok. But I want to know how much is the child's weight currently. Usually there will be no problem in giving feed if the child is hungry. But if the child is gaining too much weight we may have to restrict, I mean formula feed.
