What Causes Sudden Appetite Increase In An Infant?
My son was born at 35 weeks and he is currently 6 weeks old and his appetite has increased significantly. He went from drinking about 450ml a day to almost 700ml. During the same few hours of the day (typically from 4pm-11pm) he will want to eat every 45 mins-hour. Is this normal?

Hello,
Thank you for the query at HealthcareMagic
Drinking around 700 ml of formula a day is appropriate for 6 week old infant.
You do not need to worry.Continue feeding him according to his hunger cues.
