So i took some advice from a lot of people on here that i should feed my son on demand, and not in a routine.
We've been doing this now, but his milk intake is very erratic. He took 4 ounces in the space of an hour last night, then wanted more each hour!
Some times he will only take an ounce, an hour later he'll want more, only take an ounce and so on....
I feel that he's turned into a greedy little sod since changing to on demand. As i said. He will take his normal 3 ounces. He'll be knocked out from that, then wake up half an hour to an hour later wanting more. And he will really chomps the teat as if he's never been fed before. Also keeps trying to eat his hands!
I figure I'm doing something wrong. He's burped almost all the time, and at the end of the feed, he's always knocked out from it.
