Yesterday I took my son to the doctor go get medication for thrush. My son is 6 weeks old, born at 21 inches long 8 pounds 7 oz and now at 6 weeks old is 12 pounds 22 inches. The doctor asked how much does he eat and how often and I told him when he starts crying and putting his hands in his mouth or rubbing his mouth on the tops of his hands and crying I feed him. He asked how much? An I told him it's usually 4 oz every hour to two hours and he said that my baby weighs to much now and will probably be fat his whole life because of how much I feed him. That I'm causing him to be apart of childhood obesity. Do any of you think I'm feeding him to much or to often? He eats the whole bottle without throwing up. An he eats when he is hungry. I'm not going to cut down on his portions when I know he will get full on 4 oz and I'm not going to let him go hungry and scream and cry when he is hungry every hour. An no pacis and thumb sucking doesn't cut it when he is hungry every hour.
