So FTM here, I took my 5 month old to a GI specialist today for reflux and of course they asked me how much she eats as expected but when I told them that she eats 6 oz every 3 hours they told me I was overfeeding her. I’m so confused because she won’t take anything less or else she scream at the top of her lungs and I’d much rather have a chunky baby instead of a starving one. so my question is how much are yall feeding y’all’s 5 month old? Is 6 oz really too much? Should I cut down her feeding time to like 2 hours and feed less? She’s currently at 17 lbs so she’s growing pretty good, I’m just confused because I always heard that you give a baby how much they want.
