Am I feeding her too much?

Question

My baby is two and a half weeks old. She is taking four ounces at times and is hungry two hours later. I'm scared I'm feeding her too much. I can tell she's hungry because she roots and sticks her tongue out and cries. I pump by the way so she only eats breast milk.

Answer

She won't overeat at that age. She will know when she is hungry and what she needs.

Answer

You can't overfeed her. She will eat what she wants and done when she doesn't want anymore.

Answer

Nope that sounds about right. Every 2-3 hours is pretty typical.

Answer

You're doing good! Your baby will eat what they need. Breast milk is digested a lot faster than formula so your baby will need to feed often.

Answer

My baby was the same way! He is 2 months and drinks 6oz bottles now. She will let u know when she is done. My dr. Said they can't over eat this young and will push away. She will slow down and go back to 2 oz. my LO only drinks 6 Oz in the morning since he doesn't eat much at night ! Good luck mom don't let anyone let u feel bad about feeding u know when ur baby is hungry
