See his Pediatrician: Infants can appear hungry after eating. It is important to check with your Pediatrician to see if your son is growing well and gaining weight appropriately. Depending of the type of feeding also has an impact (formula vs. breast feeding). Some babies appear to breast feed well but if their mother does not have an adequate amount of milk, they will be hungry. Best to check with his Pediatrician

Is it really hunger?: The 1.5 month old is a rapidly growing infant that needs fuel to grow. They will feed more often than older infants.Yet many parents are confused by non-nutritive (self calming) sucking behavior as a sign they need more. Babies are wired to survive and often suck 24/7 it does not always mean hunger. Back off and feed as baby wakes, and not again until after a nap/sleep. You are overfeeding baby.
