A. Yes, it is normal for a 17-day-old baby to seem hungry often and to throw tantrums when they are not fed. Newborns have small stomachs and require frequent feedings to meet their nutritional needs and support their rapid growth and development. It's typical for infants to want to feed every 1 to 3 hours, including during the night. If your baby is crying or becoming fussy when she's hungry, it’s her way of communicating her needs. It's important to respond to her hunger cues and feed her when she seems hungry. Feeding on demand, which means feeding your baby whenever she shows signs of hunger, can help ensure she gets enough nutrition and comfort. If you have concerns about her feeding patterns or if she seems excessively fussy despite being fed, it's a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues and to get personalized advice based on her specific needs.
