Is it possible to over breast feed?

[kimberlina]

Is it possible that I am overfeeding our daughter (12 weeks old). She has quite a distended belly after feeding and has recently started bringing up some milk after most feeds. Her weight gain has followed the 25th centile line pretty closely.

I tend to feed until she stops and then offer again in case she has not had sufficient. Is this correct or should I not offer again, regardless of how long she has been attached (usually somewhere between 10 and 40 minutes)

At that age, I would say no, don't worry! :)

Sounds like you are doing exactly the right thing, kimberlina. Everything you mention sounds normal. Also, whilst it is possible to over-feed with a bottle, it is not possible to over-breastfeed - there are different mechanics involved in the two feeding methods.

No, is the short answer!

Sounds like you are doing everything right to me too and like the others have said, no its not possible to overfeed a bf baby

What everyone else said. :)
