Is it normal for my baby to seem much hungrier than usual?
As your child begins to grow and gain weight you should notice an increase in the amount they eat at each feeding and also that your child should go longer between feedings. Still, it is normal for my baby to seem much hungrier than usual at times.
Your baby may be going through a period of rapid growth, a growth spurt. Although the can happen at any time the growth spurts generally occur every two months:
- 7 to 14 days old
- 2 months
- 4 months
- 6 months
During these times and whenever your child seems especially hungry, follow his or her hunger cues. You may need to temporarily increase the frequency of feedings. As you and your child grow to know each other through successive feedings you will have a better understanding of your child’s nutritional needs.
