okay lets see if i can word all of this to where it makes sense....
i've read that when you feed a baby formula when they are about coles age, 2 1/2 months, they should be eating about 4oz ver 4 hours or so....i breastfeed cole and he eats about every 4 hours or so...but sometimes (like yesterday) i let his aunt watch him for a little while while i went to the store and while i was gone she fed him a bottle and i pumped as soon as i got back home to make up for missing the feeding. when i pumped i got 8oz out.
so my question is...when he nurses does that mean he is eating closer to 8oz every 4 hours??? if thats the case no wonder he is such a chunk and also, why would i be making so much milk? i thought i was only supposed to make what he needs...not twice that....
well, as you can see i'm very confused so please, if anyone knows anything about this please let me know. ↓
