Question
Is it normal for a boy baby who is 2 and a half months old to be fed formula every 4 hours?
Answer
The baby is fed with Yihong formula, and he seems hungry again within an hour after each feeding. He does not want to eat again after 3 hours. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, and we encourage feeding on demand. The baby’s stomach capacity is only about 30 milliliters, and he can only suck about 20 milliliters of milk at a time. The small amount of milk stays in the stomach for a short time, making him hungry again quickly.
