3 week old is overeating!

My baby rarely latches, I’ve seen 4 LC and just cannot get it to happen so I pump and bottle feed. I still let her try to latch and skin to skin so I keep producing though.

Anyways, my 3 week old just reached 6lbs even and she’s eating almost 20oz a day?! Is that normal??

She eats mixed, formula (Alimentum) and breast milk. 2-3oz a session.

I wanted to add, sometimes she cries between sessions wanting more! I’ll change her, “play with her”, hold her, etc. and she still sucks on her hands and cries. She’s usually a happy baby unless she’s hungry.
