Wanting more milk
Baby is 3 weeks old, weighing 6lb (3 weeks early) she is taking 120ml every 2 hours but she keeps looking for more, don’t know if it’s a comfort thing as she’s had an off day today, do I feed her more or leave it because of how small her stomach is?

I say feed her more I have oversupply and I’ve been told to keep feeding baby till she’s full regardless of spit up or if it’s overflowing in her mouth
My 12 day old takes 5oz / 150ml and sometimes asks for more! I’ve been so worried but every midwife has said as long as we look for the ques he’s hungry/ wants to stop, it’s impossible to over feed him!
@Lottie not quite. You can't overfeed a directly breast fed babe, but you can overfeed a bottle fed babe.

Could she have reflux and the feeding sooths it?
