Hey guys,
New parents here and my wife and I feel very frustrated with our 1 month old. Ever since we got back from the hospital we have been stuck in this cycle of feed her every 2-3 hours thoughout day and night time. We are not breast feeding and are using Targets brand gentle formula. Baby girl is all over the place with her feeding but, pretty on point with giving us cues every 2-3 hours. We are up to 3-4 ounces a feeding and even after 4 ounces sometimes she still give us cue to feed her more. she has never taken more than 6oz in one feeding. The problem that we are running into is no matter how many ounces we give her she is always hungry within that 2-3 hour marks and becomes very agitated quickly. we mention this to the doctors throughout of visits and they keep telling us to just feed her when she is hungry. we attempt to sooth with a pacifier but, baby girl wont even take that. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated!! we love her so much and just feel we need more guidance on this issue.
Does gentle formula not keep babies as full?
are we over feeding her too much as she is spitting up more and more?
thank you
