She wont stop feeding....do I change milk?

[dianedue27thjan]

Hello, Grace is 4 days old & started on around 30mils of SMA GOLD and that has increased daily to 60mils, last night her 010 hrs feed she woke and had her usual 60 mils but she wanted more & my MW told me feed on demand so I gave her another bottle thinking she might just take the top off it...no, she had the lot and was screaming for even more.

I managed to hold her back for 2 hours although she was awake and still crying/reaching for more then I gave her ANOTHER bottle which was consumed in seconds....

What do I do this pattern has continued all night, I haven't slept and she is still hungry despite being "upped" to 80mils per feed (every 3 hours)

Should I be trying hungry baby food? or should I increase her feed to 100mils?

Any help would be REALLY gratefully recieved!

Sometimes tiny babies will cluster feed and she's so little I wouldn't recommend changing anything just yet.

I know feeding on demand is tough but stay with it and she may settle down soon. Have a word with your HV xxxx
