Over-feeding?

Question

I’m a new mommy and a breastfeeding mommy as well and lately my baby has been wanting to eat ALOT. I feed him almost every 30 minutes to a hour and when I think he is content he’s not. He stops and then when I try to continue feeding him it seems like he doesn’t want to eat anymore. Am I not producing enough milk? Or is this normal for new babies?

Answer

Cluster feeding is very normal for a newborn. 
Also, you cannot overfeed a newborn, no matter how much they feed if they can’t keep it down it will come straight back up. Remember newborn stomachs are the size of their fists, they take small amounts of milk each feed and metabolise it quickly which explains the need for constant feeds. 
Your baby will go through growth spurts and there will be times when their cluster feedings slow down, and then pick up again, all 100% normal.

Answer

Normal.

Sounds like clusterfeeding/growth spurt:

Answer

My daughter ALWAYS breastfed every 30-60 min until about 8 month. That’s when she started having enough solids to last her a bit longer. It is very normal :) she was also a suuuuper chunky baby, but only until she started crawling and walking. Now she is 3, pretty skinny I would say, and eats just like a good 3 year old would :)

He could just be using you as a pacifier. You are his comfort.
