my 17 day old is eating way too much!

[loeylo]

Just fyi but my hv had me write a diary of times and amounts of feeds and when she read she referred us right away. Turned out she was cows milk intolerant and she actually went up on the centiles after dropping feed volumes but on cmpa feed.

^^ thankyou. Ive been writing down her feeds for about a week and a half now so at least ive got something to show the hv.

Confusing indeed! It does seem a lot, but i'm thinking my little girl isn't having enough so totally opposite problem. She tends to have 2-4oz every 2-3 hours.

Its so hard isn't it Dani? Yesterday she had 36ozs, mostly draining 5oz bottles, the doctor said not to worry about how much she is eating so I'm trying not too but its so hard!

I think aslong as she's happy and thriving then try not to worry, easier said than done though huh! xx

My baby does this sometimes, she goes totally bonkers and eats none stop for hours, then other days like today she'll take 3oz every 3 hours.as long as she seems content and is weeing and pooing enough I'm sure she's fine x

If she's hungry, feed her. My LO was crazy hungry when he was a newborn! He's settled down with the milk now, but eats a lot of food! Haha. He's 8 months soon xx

Yeah i didn't think you could over feed a baby either tbh
with my other 2 children now 13 and 10 i fed them whenever i thought they needed it so that's what i was doing with my youngest baby.
Glad the feeding has settled down now xx
