Anybody else's baby eat every hour?

My son is 2 weeks old and he acts hungry every 1 to 1.5 hours. I try other things before getting the bottle but it always turns out he wants the bottle. I only bottle feed and he drinks about 1-2 ounces every feeding. At night, he'll sometimes go 2.5-3 hours in between feedings but not during the day.

Totally normal! My 3 week old has been cluster feeding like this for the last 1-2 weeks. Now that she’s awake for longer stretches, I swear she just wants to eat all the time.

yeah my son was doing the same thing at around 2 wks too!

Mine was also eating that much and more. Explains why he was eleven and a half pounds at his one month appointment. He's almost seven weeks now and is finally slowing down a little bit

Yes mine is breast fed but he wants to eat like every 45 minutes it can be very overwhelming but yes cluster feeding and also comfort feeding

lol, yes. we’re in the 2 week growth spurt 🫠

I'm in the same boat. Definitely normal but so exhausting 😭💕

My 3 week old is doing the same thing 😫

Yes my son is a month old and he has started more in the afternoon wanting to feed every 1 to 1.5 hours but at night does three hour stretches

Bottle as in formula or breastmilk? If formula, it should be every 2-3 hours and maybe increase the volume. Ensure the baby isn’t just falling asleep because they got tired. Feed, burp, change diaper, tickle their feet or back, make lots of noise and movement yourself, keep them engaged, feed again!
