How can you tell if you're overfeeding a baby? Marlo is at least 10 lbs now, if not 10 1/2 -11 and today's my first day back at work. DH just called and said she's had three 4-oz bottles ALREADY! (I've been gone since 7 am - so all that in 4 hours :shock: :shock: )
Apparently she's not spitting up a lot because I know he would have mentioned it if she had.
Is it possible she's going thru a growth spurt? (He also said she's only slept 10 minutes here and 10 minutes there and as soon as he puts her in her bassinet she wakes up.
I feel SO VERY HELPLESS here at work, and I know dh wants to do the best he can - but since I'm not there I don't know what to tell him. I just read that babies are supposed to get about 2 1/2 oz a day for every lb of their weight, and that would put Marlo at approximately 24 oz per day - so that means she's already eaten half of that and I'm really freaking out.
Anyone?
