Is it alright to feed a 11day old newborn baby Enfamil Rest Full?
My newborn baby wakes every 3 hours for feedings. He already eats 4oz of formula each time but he still wakes like clockwork. Is it alright to feed him the Enfamil Rest Full?
In my opinion, a newborn who wakes every 3 hours has one lucky mother. My 6 month old still wakes every three hours.
Enfamil Rest Full is another marketing scam aimed at desperate parents who will do anything to get their babies to sleep through the night, despite medical facts that it is very dangerous for newborns. Newborns should not sleep through the night. Many babies don’t sleep through until well over a year old. Furthermore, those formulas that claim your baby will sleep are nothing but formula with rice added to them. Bad for baby. Rice is constipating and will not necessarily help your baby sleep anyway.
Why not just continue to feed him when he is hungry?

I believe it’s better to stay with what you give him now, because the baby’s immune system is still weak. He’s supposed to eat every 2-3 hours even throughout out the night. As longs as he’s not spitting up the milk that’s fine

Every 3 hours is perfectly normal. The term "sleep like a baby" is deceptive. Babies will wake every 2 – 4 hours "like clockwork", especially as newborns. Feeding him such a formula will likely give you an overweight child.

sleeping through the night for a baby only means 5-6 hours so if you are going every 3 hours thank your stars, this formula should be taken off the market all it has in it is rice which isn’t good for a newborn. my daughter ate every 1.5 hours-2 hours and didn’t start solidly sleeping through the night until so was 20 months. welcome to motherhood.

Every 3 hours is normal. When my son was that age he ate every two hours. I would strongly advise against changing formulas without consulting your Pediatrician first.
