Due Date Club November 2003:How much milk to feed...........
2003-12-10
Name: cm



Hi,

Our son is 1M and 10Days and we are trying to find how much milk we should feed him. Right now, he is drinking 4oz every 3hours. But some times, he cries just after 1.5hrs and if we put pasifier on his mouth, he is sucking very hard. If we feed him more milk, he is vomitting.

Any ideas/suggestions on how much milk and frequency?

Thanx

My pediatrician says that crying does'nt always mean that the baby is hungry. Try to calm him down..talk to him or sing to him. sometimes even rocking the baby helps.
My Aditya also goes through these phases. Holding him close and comforting him helps.

Hey cm...my son does the same.. he has about 2.5 to 3 ounces every 2 to 3 hours and sometimes seems to be hungry right after a feeding...
I asked my doc about it and he said \";let the baby decide how much and how often he wants to eat\";.. (not much help :) )

but since your son is throwing up.... my suggestion would be let him have the pacifier for a while or give him just an ounce or two and see if that works...

lets see if others have any other suggestions...

good luck

cm, I've been doing some research and read that we should try and avoid feeding babies in-between feedings...and we should keep it to the minimum whenever possible...

I think giving him the pacifier for a while and seeing if he stops crying will be a better idea..and also like Priya said, he might need more comforting..

I meant give an ounce or two in-between feedings when you think he is hungry....
