Can't overfeed breastfed baby?

[lazzaroo]

if this is really true, what am I doing wrong? Bf 2nd baby. Didn't enjoy t first time round & struggling again. Done 4 weeks so far. Am trying to be more relaxed this time & offering breast sooner rather than later BUT she ends up feeding on and off from about 5pm to 9pm. She doesn't properly settle during this time. I know that's not uncommon. we rock her, use White noise, bung her in the bjorn, feed & have now resorted to dummy ( which she's not very good at & I'm not very good at knowing when to use that as opposed to feeding....turns out I'm just not very good at this full stop).

She's a big feeder. 8lb 6oz at birth & 9lb 8oz when weighed last week.

So, what do you do about the build up of wind this is creating & the fact that sometimes she will be sick...literaly while feeding...all over me.

Still here, still breastfeeding & still hating it. Saw health visitor today.tried to explain but as far as she's concerned baby is doing well, gaining weight etc Now 11lb 6oz at 4 weeks. She thinks she may have reflux, which my first had & it was a nightmare. Deep down I had thought the same but was in denial! So I'll go to Drs about that. She recommended dummy, which we've tried & baby still rubbish at using it.

I am desperate. We've been trying her with bottle every day but she won't take it properly. We've tried 3 different types. She isn't sleeping well at night because of wind. She won't settle easily in the day, or when she does won't stay asleep when put down. She gets particularly restless with me & often ends up falling asleep when feeding. I'm nt bothered about this apart from fact she then usually wakes 10-20mins later with tummy ache.

I am miserable & pretty sure I am making her miserable too, let alone my other daughter who has to sit by while she is either attached to me or I try for hours to get her to sleep.
