My one month old never?

It really depends on the weight of the baby. The baby's metabolism also plays a part of course. The average formula fed baby takes in about 2.5 ounces per pound over a 24 hr period. So a 10lb baby takes in about 25 oz a day. Do not give cereal in a bottle. You should not have to alter a bottle to feed a baby - it is obvious then that it is not meant to be IN the bottle. It poses a choking hazard. Also - most add rice cereal & rice cereal is low in nutrition to begin with - it is primarily starch. A Stanford Pediatrician is starting a "whiteout" campaign specifically against this. He says * White rice — after processing strips away fiber, vitamins and other nutrients — is a "nutritional disaster," Ludwig says. It's "as processed as anything in the food supply" and "the nutritional equivalent of table sugar."

White rice and flour turn to sugar in the body "almost instantly," Ludwig says, raising blood sugar and insulin levels "while providing virtually no other nutrients."*

And at 1 month your baby cannot even digest most of it - so it is the equivalent of putting an indigestible filler in his food & cutting OUT nutrients. It "works" because it takes longer to digest (since it can't digest) and makes their tummies FEEL full longer. It does NOT actually feed them anything "good".

Read this - it explains that:

***In order to digest grains, your body needs to make use of an enzyme called amylase. Amylase is the enzyme responsible for splitting starches. And, guess what? Babies don’t make amylase in large enough quantities to digest grains until after they are a year old at the earliest. Sometimes it can take up to two years. You see, newborns don’t produce amylase at all. Salivary amylase makes a small appearance at about 6 months old, but pancreatic amylase (what you need to actually digest grains) is not produced until molar teeth are fully developed! First molars usually don’t show up until 13-19 months old, on average.***

I am not sure it would HURT him - but it certainly won't FEED him - and I guess i believe hungry babies should get FOOD they can digest. I think you trust your baby that if they are hungry they need nutrition. If you truly think he is way overeating to a degree that something seems "wrong" then that is a time to look at potential reasons for excessive hunger, not to fill him up on things he can't process so he goes longer between feeds.

That is all I can offer in way of what is "normal" because I breasted & breastfed babies (most of them) nurse very frequently. So to me, this sounds totally typical. Breastfed babies often do not go longer than 2 hrs & may want to eat & eat & eat & then eat again in 15 mins. So to ME that seems like a typical feeding patern, particularly at a month old. If you truly think something might be wrong, then ask for tests for metabolic disorders. Don't offer foods as fillers though. The though tof tha tjust makes me sad. I know a lot of people do it, I know a lot of Dr's recommend it, I know many of us (including myself) had this done to them as infants, but that doesn't make it the best health choice. I don't think people are out trying to harm babies, but it may be harmful just the same.

Although growth spurts can happen anytime during the first year, your baby will most likely have his initial spurt between one and three weeks; and another between six and eight weeks. After that, you can expect more at three months, six months, and nine months. The good news: A baby's growth spurts usually last only a couple days, so your baby (and your life) should get back to normal soon.

Here’s how to recognize your little sprout’s spurt:

Your baby wants to eat nonstop. If you’ve been breastfeeding every three hours, your baby will now want to belly up to the milk bar every hour or two. That’s just fine. The more often your baby breastfeeds, the more he stimulates milk production to keep up with his growing appetite. Older babies will also want to nurse more and up their intake of the jarred stuff if they’re eating solids.

Your baby will be up more often at night. Even if your baby was sleeping for a blissful five- or six-hour stretch, during a growth spurt he’ll howl for a midnight snack, then one at 2 a.m., and 4 a.m., and so on. You may find your older baby waking up earlier from his naps, too.

Your baby will be crankier than usual. At the breast he’ll be extra fussy, latching and unlatching because he wants more milk right now, and your production might not be up to speed yet. Plus, all those late nights don’t help his mood (or yours!) either.

btw you can't over feed a baby, baby knows when to stop, so keep feeding until baby is full and happy! Remember this wont last long!

My son had colic and simply bought over it approximately a month in the past, he'll be 5 months this week. So, I realize all approximately gassy infants. Try giving him a hot tub that covers his stomach at night time, location a hot rag on his stomach whilst within the tub too, hot a blanket within the dryer whilst you therapeutic massage his stomach with a few lotion. Wrap the blanket round him, with emphasis on his stomach. Not best will the hot tub soothe his stomach however together with the lengthy smooth therapeutic massage he'll relaxation good, or a minimum of my boy does. You would additionally take a look at giving him a hot bottle of water, approximately two oz or so after the bathtub. For a few intent, water will get matters going with my boy. Make bedtime for him leisure time for you and your partner. Turn the lighting off or down, radios or television down or off, and so on. Good good fortune with the whole thing, quickly sufficient he'll uncover his agenda!

my son was like that, so I started giving him cereal with his formula, the dry baby cereal that you can find at any stores, I would just mix a spoon of cereal(same spoon as the formula) with his 5oz bottle, the doctors told me it was fine but he was 2 months old when I started doing this, so ask his pediatrician

btw, you'll have to make the hole in the bottles just a bit bigger for easy flow

try a binky my son just want to suck.
