Hi,
Our baby boy Harvey was born 5 weeks ago and was 4.76kgs (10.7pds) - natural (never again!).
He's such a good boy but needs to be fed all the time! He's taking 150ml to 200ml every 2 to 2 1/2 hours and if I don't feed him he screams until he gets it. I was breastfeeding and supplementing with bottle but it was getting too much so i've just given up breastfeeding sad
The nurse said to distract him with something else so that he doesn't want more food... I've tried toys, singing, patting, jiggling, walking, driving and just about everything but all he wants is food!
Anyways, he continues to gain weight, he weighs 6.7kgs now and i'm starting to get worried. Has anyone been in the same situation? I know he's only 5 weeks old, should I just feed him and not worry?
