It's amazing how Matt is always hungry. But then I find out from other Nov 2007 mummies I know from the Singapore Motherhood forum, that their babies are like that too. Matt feeds every 2-3 hours. And at times when he is really hungry, he wails and he wails very loud, with his whole face turning red and grouchy (like "关公"). And then his head will start rolling around, with his mouth open and tongue licking away for milk (probably that's how Matt has trained his neck muscles up so early at 4 weeks old). He will stretch his body, wave his hands and kicks his legs. At times, he will start biting his hands cum mittens...
Lucky one mummy show this information with us... See this link... http://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/milkcalc.html. I have gradually started increasing his intake of milk during his feeds, from 60ML (since discharge from hospital), slowly by 10ML each time to the 100ML he is taking now. But he always seem to gulp down his milk and finish the entire milk bottle, that it looks like he is not taking enough. Will have to keep monitoring and see how, but Mummy is stressed, cos not sure if can produce so much milk milk to feed little Matthias...
There was this afternoon whereby I put him onto my lap and teased him by placing my finger near his mouth. See his reaction...
