Demand greater than supply!!!
My lil hungry hippo is ever hungry!!!
Within a week of coming home, she had gained half kg and she is currently at 3.66kg! Ain't she getting more chubby. Last thursday, the midwife who visited advised that we should stopped giving her the formula add on for night feeds saying that her weight gain is "on track".... haha did she mean too much ?!!
And since my lil silly gal gradually knows how to suck better, we decided to reduce her formula feed n even put her on the breast for the middle of the night feed. Aiyo but hor... this is quite a serious mistake, we used to be able to have 4+ hour of sleep and now, every stretch is only 2 hours!!!
So so, how how ??
Is the health of baby or our sleep and sanity more important??

Thats what happened to us too! Also it might just be a growth spurt that would fade away after a week or so. It does get better in terms of the constant feeding! Hang in there!
But she has been a hungry hippo since day 3!! She finishes whatever we give her...haha that is why the cheeks has puff up so much
Baby need time to adjust. In the womb, she get food 24/7. So now the adjustment period for both bb and parents.
Keep up the great job!
