Can I overfeed my baby with BFing? A friend has said that I should not be feeding as frequently as I have been. I really don't know what to do as this is my first baby.
I basically feed on demand (she is 17 days old) and I thought that I had cracked it, thought I knew when she was hungry and when she was just wet/hot. But now my friend has caused me to doubt everything.
How often should I be feeding?
Could overfeeding be the cause of her wind? The last 2 days she has really suffered with wind, and screams a plenty.
