Would you please tell me why my baby girl eats every hour or hour and half every other day or two? Between these days she eats every two hours and i can barely keep her from feeding to feeding. Is that my milk production not enough? My breasts are small, so i thought maybe they do not produce enough?

Since she is 4 months old, suggest feeding her rice cereal (mix with breast milk) once a day or you can give her one bottle (about 6ozs) of infant formula a day to see if she goes longer between feeds. If she does, then it maybe your breast milk. If not, then have her be seen by her doctor to be checked.
