my baby is 3 weeks today... and man... he is starting to get really chunky from eating every 2 hours mostly at night.... what can I do so he doesn't gain too much weight??

when babies are that little they eat when they are hungry period they do not overeat because they have not learned that behavior... just my opinion you should not be worried about him gaining too much weight that young... restrictive feeding that young could set a chart for some really poor beliefs and behaviors surrounding food later in life... but if you're really concerned talk to the pediatrician

Nope he is fine. Eatting on demand is great at that age, he will also go through growing spurts where he sleeps a lot and that extra chunk will help him sleep longer to grow

@mybabyloves, oh good!! that makes me feel a lot better. I knew you were supposed to feed them on demand but no one told me that the chunk they put on will help them. thanks so much!

yeah because when they have that little bit of extra fat their body can sleep longer without depriving itself, which in turn makes it easier for our bodies and our little brains to grow
