    I would call your pediatrician, I'm sure they can let you know over the phone.

    My son is the same way but I wait a little after I burp him then he spits up and then I know he's full and he's fine after. Ask your pediatrician also

    If he's still fussing and sucking on his fists and you can't soothe him with a pacifier or something, then try giving him more. You can do a 3 oz bottle and see how much of it he drinks at his next feeding. At my 2 week appt, they gave me a paper that said eating 2 to 5 oz every 3 to 4 hours was normal at this stage. My 3 week old is eating 4 oz every 3 - 4 hours.
