My baby boy is 2 week + 4 days. I mainly breastfeed him but some times my breast milk is not enough especially during the night (having to get up and feed him 2 times), I feed him formula. My husband wants to help feed him during the night, so I express some milk during the day in the bottle.
Last night, my husband fed him with my expressed milk, about 100ml. My boy seemed having enough, so my husband put him in cot to sleep. Five minutes later, baby started to cry, sucked his hand, moved his mouth around looking for feed. My husband had to top him up with 20ml formula. That wasn't enough. A total of 60ml formula was fed before he finally looked satisfied and fell asleep.
The total feed was 160ml! Is that too much for a 2-week old baby? The night before, he had about 130ml. I can't imagine his tiny little tummy can fill that much of milk. Plus He didn't vomit any milk at all. It made him sleep for 4 hours, then he's awake again...asking for feed...
Should I worry? How much should he be fed? Should I take him to GP? Please give me some suggestion.
