Over the past two days my dd has been in a feeding frenzy. She can't seem to get enough. Feeds are quite close together, 1.5-2.5 hours, and as we're mix feeding, I can see she's getting a lot of formula. She's 19 days old. She was small at birth, so she's catching up, and I knew to expect growth spurts as milk came in, at 10 days, and I know she should be feeding a lot, but this seems excessive, if there is such a thing.
I'm assuming I can't over feed her, and if she takes the food she's hungry. But is this a temporary growth spurt? I'm so new to all of this - just want to know how long it will continue as it makes her quite unsettled in between feeds and her poor digestive system can't quite keep up with her pace!
