Feeding how much and how often?
I went to my WIC appointment today and the lady told me that I’m feeding my daughter way too much for a two month old. I’m feeding her 4oz every three hours. She’s had bad acid reflux from the day she was born, she told me that I need to be feeding my daughter only 2oz every 2 to 3 hours and that I am overfeeding her and that is why she is spitting up. But yet, from the day she was born she’s had acid reflux and they even diagnosed her with that. At the hospital she was only eating 30 mL and she would spit that up. Is 4 ounces too much? My daughter eats the whole bottle, if you even try to burp her every ounce before she even gets to 2oz, she cries and cries till she gets to bottle back. She told me that I need to sit her up for 30 minutes after every feeding and I told her that she doesn’t spit up until an hour or more later, the sitting up straight doesn’t work for her, I feel like 2oz is nothing on a two month old. Am I wrong?
