My newborn won’t stop eating

My baby turned 1 week old today she’s formulae fed and was born weighing 7.5 pounds. She’s been having 80-90ml which the baby feeding team have said is quite a lot for her age. As of today even 90ml wasn’t enough she took 100ml and still cried and non stop rooting for more 20 minutes later. She doesn’t vomit after eating so I assume she’s not being overfed but everyone says this is a lot of milk for her age … anyone else have a hungry baby ?

My son who is now 2 was born on the 10th centile and has been on the 90th since 6 months old

How to you recover while looking after a toddler ?

Does anyone have any advice ? It’s almost been a week since my c section and my 2 year old has decided it’s the best time to test me. He’s suddenly began spitting , pulling curtains down and pulling the house apart and just simply not listening at all.

I’m really struggling because I can barely do anything fun with him at the moment and when he does decide to do something rebellious I can’t just go and pick him up and stop him. Today it was so bad my chest began hurting and I couldn’t breathe properly, I’m struggling and exhausted on about 2 hours sleep each night since leaving the hospital on top of that.
