My baby is 1 month 7 days old he is on formula milk as i am unable to produce breast milk.He drinks 5 ounces of milk and still is not satisfied he crys a lot until we give him milk he wants milk every 2 and half hours,we try giving him half 2.5 ounces every 2 hours but he doesn't seem to be satisfied.is it ok to feed him like this.he is also colic i tried gripe water but that doesn't seem to help!

One more question he is developing heat rashes through out his face and body is that normal.I am first time mom and i have no clue whats going on. ved's mom replied. I dont really know much about over feeding since my daughter used to drink 2 ounces at that stage,,its better not to talk of that but still you give how much the baby wanted..they say some babies have big bellies and some small..so why dont you give the baby his fullest..No mother can see the son crying in hunger,so just go ahead and feed him and two and half hours is not so bad to feed..in good olden times no mothers checked the time or ounces and fed its the babies hunger what made them to drink..so follow their rule no problem...
about the heat rash if you are in USA,i can suggest you to use EUCERIN moisturing lotion,which is very good for the babies..this one i used for my baby..and it was working.Hope this helps Kumuda replied. my son used to do this. he used to drink a lot, cry, cry, cry...colic..

try a pacifier instead of feeding him too much milk. the general milk need in a day should be 2.5 times the body weight.

Kumuda Vidya replied. Normally the peditricians ask to feed the baby every 3 hours. If your baby feels hungry and cries for food then please give him the milk he requires. Also let him decide how much he wants to drink. If he wants to drink 5 or 8 ounces then please let him drink that much.
The only thing I would advice is to avoid feeding the baby every 1 or 2 hours. Babies need to learn that they will be fed at regular intervals and then need to eat enough till the next feeding time. Next time, when he cries for food, give him milk as much as he wants so that he does not feel hungry immediately.
