My son was breast fed and drank extremely often some babies are just big eaters.

If she is formula fed maybe switch formulas?

Are you formula feeding? I know I got a bit confused by the guidelines on the tin where it says how many bottles they should have a day and working out how often to offer it. I spoke to a nurse and she explained it really is just a guide and some babies require more some days then other. If baby is hungry feed it, and if you're worried its eating too much, at least you can tell the dr on Monday exactly how oz a day its eating. Good luck!

Uh feed her, babies cry when they are hungry or when they have a wet diaper. Theres no such thing as eating too much for babies.
