Baby snacking- should I be worried?

[koalabear]

My baby still snacks! I don't think it's anything to worry about-probably just hitting a growth spurt

Could be a growth spurt, it could also just be his schedule. My DS usually has longer nursing sessions in the evenings because he's filling up so he can sleep longer.

Not something you need to stop, just keep feeding on demand

I think six weeks is a growth spurt. Even if it not I would just continue to feed on demand. As long as diaper output is normal and there are not signs of dehydration I would not worry.

Six week growth spurt. I'm sure everything is fine. Keep feeding on demand.

Eating every hour is totally normal at that age. If he is getting pee and poo diapers, I wouldn't overanalyze and just go with it. He will get back to longer stretches on his own.

Another vote for growth spurt.

And if you can get a full baby to take some more, you'll find that it doesn't end well. All the extra just gets yakked back up on you. Voice of experience here. I didn't try to push it with my 2nd and got yakked on much less.

I agree on growth spurt, and some babies are just snackers. My 4-month-old snacks from about 3-7am. Don't know what I'd do without side-lying nursing!
