Hi, this is my 3rd child but first child exclusively breastfeeding and she is eating like every hour.. I know I am producing enough milk. cause she has like 10 wets and she has went from 5lb11ozs to 8lb4ozs.. But why isn't she staying full... Someone told me to do rice in a bottle but I really don't want to do that yet.. Or is this normal?? ↓

It might be more of a habit, thats the schedule she's on....slowly make her wait longer, 15 minutes each time maybe....then she'll take more each time. ↑
