Re: BFing moms i have a question
my son likes to cluster feed - at night I can feed him than less than an hour goes by and he wants to eat again
I don't feel you can over feed a baby - they will stop when they are done/full

Give her as much as she wants. My kids use to eat every HOUR!!! and would feed for 20 min on each side!! The 1st few months should be on demand, their blood sugars as well as their metabolism is every changing so demand feeding meets the needs of these changes int heir bodies

Re: BFing moms i have a question
I think it's true for the most part that breastfed babies don't overeat so if she's hungry feed her. We used to do process of elimination with changing the diaper first b/c sometimes a wet diaper would make her cry in the beginning. Our DD would also clusterfeed later in the day sometimes every hour and not spit up so we know she needed it.
