Is my newborn over eating?

Question

I am exclusively pumping & my baby is 2 weeks old. Every feeding she eats almost 3-4oz of milk.. is she over-eating? Is she on the bottle to soothe? I’m waiting to give her a pacifier

Answer

For breast milk it’s about 1-1.5oz or hour, no matter the age.

Answer

She will feed like there’s no tomoro until she’s about 6 wks so don’t fall into the top up trap, it’s completely normal and she’s trying to establish your supply

Answer

My experience that is a bit much.. but if baby is happy then don’t worry about it. My LO was getting belly aches and over eating so she was fussy and not happy after feeding so she would demand more thinking it would make her tummy feel better but it’s just a cycle. If baby is content after eating that much and doesn’t get hungry for another 2-4 hours then keep feeding that much

Answer

My daughter lived on my boob for like 6-12 weeks. She was chunky but healthy :)

Answer

I don’t think so, my daughters pediatrician told me to feed until full. She’s two weeks ,three days! She has 3-4 ounces as well, every two hours

Answer

Oh often is she eating?
