I am bf my dd who is 2 1/2 wks old and she has been getting quite a lot of what i assume is wind - squirming at the breast, kicking out, shaking her head. my hv said i may be over feeding her. i thought the point of feeding on demand was to give as much as little as she wanted, after all, you cant force her to suck. now i dont know what todo. in the night, i gave her the 3 1/2 oz of ebm that i was advised but she was still hungry and guzzled on my breast afterwards for about another 10 mins before taking herself off. am i doing this wrong or should i go with my instincts?
