My newborn is drinking formula milk every 1-1.5hr. Should I be worried?

Hi mummies. My 3 week old baby keeps wanting milk every 1-1.5hr. Initially he drinks 60ml every 2-3hrs but we realised that he keeps wanting more milk every 1-1.5hr. So we decided to up his intake to 75ml. Even with the increase in formula milk, he still wants milk every 1.5hr. He still poops normally, no diarrhoea or vomiting. I am doing mix feeding, breast milk and formula. FYI, I’m using Dupro. Should I be worried? #firsttimemom #worried

When you increase milk, should increase every 30ml. Can try 90ml. And also very normal for newborn to feed often! I also remember mine feeds every 1-5hr.

15ml is ok,I personally find 30ml too big a jump, and like you said, may end up causing baby to throw up. In any case, for newborns, just feed if they want to drink more. They will self-regulate. Sometimes they could be experiencing a growth spurt.
