My 3 week old dd is being bottle fed and I'm becoming a bit worried that she's packing too much away! The Health Visitor did give me some sort of equation (weight x 2 + something or other) as a rough guide to the amount of fl oz she should be taking, but baby brain means I've forgotten what it is! She regularly takes 4 oz (she's feeding around every three hours at the moment) but often at her morning feed she'll take her 4oz bottle and then cry and wriggle until I give her another 1/2oz from a second bottle! At this rate she'll be on roast dinners by next week. Am I overfeeding her? If so how can I stop her?
