Is my baby overeating?
by Dee381, Jul 04, 2008 10:26AM
My baby girl was 7lbs, 6oz when born. She is now 6 weeks old and a hefty 13lbs. She is feeding on formula approx. 32 oz a day (eight 4oz feedings) every 2 1/2 - 3 hours. I am concerned that if she continues this way I will barely be able to lift her at 6 months! Is she eating too much?
