I am FF my 10 week old DD after giving up on mixed feeding after 6 weeks. She was born weighing 2.5kgs and when she was weighed a week ago was 4.7. We were in Switzerland for Christmas and the in-laws insisted she see an Austrian dr about her colic. The doctor said she is putting on too much weight and will be fat if she continues like this. He said we should feed her only every 4 hours. She normally takes between 2 and 4 ozs every 2 and a half to 4 and a half hours but since Saturday she seems to want to eat ALL the time. She is crying, eating her hands, looking for the breast and smacking her lips almost every 90 minutes. Is this a growth spurt? I am worried especially after what the Austrian doctor said. I was wondering if she was teething but I guess it's too early for that?
Am I feeding her too much/often?
Thanks
