My 3 week old drinks 4oz. Every 2-3 hours and when she cluster feeds she'll drink 3 oz ever hour to…

My baby did the same thing and when i asked the dr about it he said to give him what he wants because apparently a baby will never overeat. It can also be a growth spurt so if he takes it and doesnt throw it up id say its all good @amaperalta03

It's breastmilk....i wouldn't worry.

@arivera64, okay good I don't wanna upset her tummy. But she does shit after every feed. I guess her body is trying to play catch up

lol

Is it breastmilk? When my son was 4 months (he is7 mo now). We had latch problem I called the Hopkins and they told me 4 oz is a lot even for breastmilk. That being said they said it can vary and should: one feeding 2, next 4 next one might be 3.., and to help with that I was told to stop couple of times and burp to prolong the feeding a little and let food settle in. Also makes the difference is it bottle feeding always?majority? They drink more before realizing how full they are quicker than on breast. it's important not to overfeed with bottles because it leads to stretching of stomach and obesity. It's serious stuff. Look it up

@yanald90, yes it's breast milk

Well all I wrote applies as well; just with formula it's little worse on overfeeding

@yanald90, thank you for the info. Her doctor said it was fine but I don't 100% trust everything doctors say.

It won't like hurt her like you said she would let you know and vomit. But I recently learned how Hopkins launched this program to encourage breastfeeding and I learned all this stuff on overfeeding and obesity and Hopkins is trying to fight it by teaching women to not stretching their babies stomachs and follow obviously with food nutrition later. It's just scary! So many women don't know this and it's nuts they need to better educate us so we all know this

@amaperalta03, good luck I'm sure she is growing and you guys will adjust well
