my daughter is 8 days old

she eats 3 oz. bottles

i've been waking her during the day to eat and letting her go at night

yesterday she ate at

7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 6pm, 8pm, 10pm, 2:30am, 7am

she has been spitting up when i burp her which I guess is normal from what i've been told. but she spits up through her nose and tonight she is very uncomfortable from the gas. I stop her A LOT during feeds to burp

could this be a sign of overfeeding?

actually at her 6pm feed tonight, it was hard to get her to eat. she only ate 2 of the 3 oz.

but then at 7:30 she woke up starving and i tried everything before giving her her 8pm bottle and she drank it all

so on one hand i think she needs the 3 oz. and on the other hand i'm thinking it could be too much

at her 4pm bottle, again it was hard to wake her to eat and she had terrible gas pains from that feeding and spit up a bunch when burping and once through her nose

when she is awake for feeds she does much better with gas and burping

i try to wake her more but being only 8 days old, its hard
