so, little bit of a hasty message. my dd, 3.5 weeks has suddenly gone from 3oz feeds to 5 and only stopping her cos the bottle appears to be empty. feel bad enough about ff without making her a porker but does that sound an unreasonable amount. i do mean literally in the last 24 four hrs almost doubling her intake. dh has just given her a cheeky extra oz making 5.5 oz and she has finally gone to sleep after being awake since her last feed at four.

Dont think it sounds outrageous. At 3.5 weeks I would just follow what dd is telling you; they dont overfeed at this age. If she dropped off to sleep, sounds like she was satisfied and happy & just go with it!! She may be having a growth spurt as well which makes her extra hungry!!
