It seems that everyday in the mid afternoon, my baby will want to eat every hour to 1.5 hours. He'll only eat for 5-10 minutes and then fall back asleep. And then after a few hours of this, he'll go back to normal 2-3 hour stretches.

Is it normal for newborns to need a quick "fill up?" We've tried doing everything other than feeding him to calm him down, but honestly the only thing that works is feeding him.

My Peditrician was telling me it might be colic, but I don't believe it. Because I CAN calm him down with feeding him. I thought colic was if you couldn't calm them down.

Thanks for any advice.

Carson does this too sometimes.. my ped. said it's completely normal.. just like certain times of the day we are more hungry than others,so are they.

Abby does this too..sometimes she'll want to eat every hour or so...I think for her it is more of a comfort thing than anything else though...
