Dd is 20 days old and putting on lots of weight - 1lb 7oz since birth (another post about this) and I am a bit worried about it as when I feed her after she hasn't feed for an hour - the milk sprays out quickly and she hardly has to suck initially and just let's it spray into her mouth while sucking slowly - quite a lot of milk dribbles out of her mouth and she sometimes coughs - could this be why she is putting on too much weight - she can't control the flow? ! Just another in a long list of worries!

I meant a few hours - not an hour!

You can't overfeed a BF baby so don't worry about the weight gain. It's great, your doing a grand job.
