Hiii, I’m curious how much your baby is eating currently! My baby is 9 weeks and she’s taking in 5oz every 4 hours… I’m afraid it’s too much for her little body but she doesn’t have reflux or show any signs of discomfort from eating too much or being full. What does your lo’s feed and timing between look like?
