Hey, well i'm not an expert or a doctor or everything but she should know when she is full and she'll let ya know. When she won't take in anymore or won't take it at all then she's full and you should try feeding her at least every 2 hours thats what my my friend had to do with her baby. ~melissa

Yep she will definitely feed until she's full. The doctor wont ask how many ounces if your breastfeeding just how often you do it and approximately for how long.

Thanks guys! Yeah I know when she is full, well actually she is a weirdo! She eats for about 20 minutes takes a break and goes to daddy and then cries cause she is hungry again! Is this normal?? My mom said I used to do that all the time, but I was just curious if there is anything I am doing wrong to make her stop or if its just her?? Thanks, sorry for the irritating questions but I am have been a nervous reck since I got home and don't want to mess up!!

Much love

Well
I don't have a baby but my cousin's little boy is 7 months old and he does the same thing. Ever since he was born she breastfed and he'd eat for a little while. Stop. Then cry to eat a little more. Then he was finished. Don't stress.

It;s not weird, it's very normal. She is still a newborn and will get a routine soon. She gets tired from everything and especially from sucking. Eventually she'll feed for as long as she needs then she'll feed the same just about 2 hrs later.

I loved your webpage, she is so beautiful and u r too. I can't believe you have time for makeup.

Good luck with everything,
