My LO feeds really well, roughly every 3-4hours, with some more frequent days when we've had really hot weather although i notice although he might ask to feed every 60-90min its only for a minute or 2 and then he has the bigger proper feed as expected.
He does cluster feed for a few hours 6-9pm most evenings and I dream feed him about 11-11:30pm so I don't get woken till 2:30-3am instead of 1am.
I'd been really pleased with his weight gain - he was 3.3kg (7lb4.5oz) at birth, dropped to 3.1kg on day2 but had regained his birthweight and reached 3.42kg by day5.
His weight gain has continued and last week 6 days ago when he was 17days old he weighed 3.76kg (8lb4oz), I've just had him weighed today at the clinic and he was 4.15kg (9lb2oz) - so he's gained 14oz in 6days!!! This has to be excessive surely - the nurse in the clinic today only spoke swiss german so i'll have to wait till next week to ask questions but I'm worried is it possible to overfeed?
