Does cluster feeding come in question when being bottle fed too?

My 8 week old had about 2 ounces at 1 pm and then slept at the bottle for 15 min and was rooting again at 1.15 pm so I gave her another 1 ounce and then she slept for 40 min and again got up crying. I gave her the paci to see if she was hungry and she just kept going at the paci and being angry so gave her another 1 ounce.

She kept waking up.

How do you deal with cluster feeding if bottle fed?

My 8 week old just refuses her day naps unless held. She sleeps in her lounger between my husband and I at night and sleeps 3-3.5 hours ( i think also because she is soo tired from not sleeping during the day ).

She would go into deep sleep when in held in my arms and the second I put her down she is wide awake. Tried the same set up as we have for nights but it doesn’t work.

She becomes soo tired and sleepy by the evening that she becomes cranky and it affects her feeds too. ( she is bottle fed)

Any tips to help her to get through good day naps in her bassinet? I have to get back to work so holding her to sleep is going to be tough

My LO is 6 weeks old and is bottle fed with 50% pumped breastmilk and 50% formula.

Since yesterday she has been having dark green seedy poop almost every 3-4 hours. She is eating normal and is not lethargic. She is running a little hot so checked her temps and it was 98.3F.

Giving her Similac 360 comfort care RTF formula since the start.

Should I worried? Looking for some similar experiences.

My LO - 7 lb and 2 oz and born 5 lb and 6 oz at 37th week - SGA baby ( small size )

After a lot of feeding difficulty and being unable to latch following the triple feeding method.

My question : How do I increase her intake to support her growth? Doctor said to keep her minimum intake at 18 ounces and try 20 ounces if possible. LO is currently between 13-15 ounces.

Lo is soo sleepy during feeds that she once she hits 1,5-2 ounces she stops sucking. She has 7-8 wet diapers a day and about 2-3 dirty diapers. She gets up herself around 2-3 hour mark and gives cues that she is hungry ( smacking lips, turning head side to side and occasionally crying ).

From night 11 pm to next day noon - she would take only about 1.5 ounces or max 2 ounces if we gently stimulate her.

During the day she has about 2-4 hours of wake windows without fussing or crying.

She is combo fed with formula and pumped breastmilk.

What to do to help her be more active during feeds and actually get the minimum to help her grow. I want her to become chunky soon!
