How much is your 1 month old drinking?

So my LO is 1 month old and we feed her on demand. Whilst this is working, the amount she is drinking is never consistent. Sometimes she will cry for milk and only drink 1oz of it and then happily go to sleep and wake up 1 hr to 1 hr 30 later for more. But other times, she will happily finish a full 4oz and feed again in 2-3 hours. Is this behaviour normal? Does it last long?

This is the exact same as my baby, she is also one month old x

my baby is doing the exact same seems to be wanting more during the day and less during her night feeds and then wakes screaming as if she was never fed ha. im just going with it and giving her extra if she wants just letting her drink what she wants. i remember this on my first aswel i put it down to growth spurts etc

My baby is now 7 weeks old and still does this, some days we get the full amount in every feed others we don’t x

My baby will be 1 month on Thursday and she does the exact same however the most she’ll drink is 3oz and longest she sleeps is 4hrs

Mines the same and he’s only 2 and half weeks old x

My son is 6 wks and he drinks 4oz per feed every 2 hrs.

Normal. Just like sometimes we only want a snack or a quick drink while other times we eat a full plate of food!

It's called cluster feeding sweet it's pretty normal for newborns because there growth is so quick my little boy turned 8 weeks yesterday and he's just starting to level out a bit in-between so he will do between 5 qnd 6 oz every 3 hours but when he has another growth spurt he will be back to it again lol

1month old too and same behavour. She will be starving and only drink 1oz and fall back asleep then she goes for 3oz

My little girl is 5 weeks and the exact same! 🙃😂. I just say to my partner it’s a snack day today aha. X
