Question
A 2-month-old male baby drinks formula every 4 hours. Is this normal? (Formula brand: Wei quan) What kind of assistance is needed?
Answer
Since the amount of milk consumed each time may vary, the baby might feel hungry after 1 hour of feeding or may not be interested in eating after 3 hours. This is a natural physical phenomenon, so we recommend feeding on demand. You can feed the baby when they cry, show signs of hunger, or when the mother feels engorged. Newborns have small stomach capacities and less milk intake per suckling, so they will feel hungry quickly.
