How can know, if my baby is overfeeding?

3y ago

As a general rule, you cannot over feed a breast fed baby. Some mothers do have an over abundant supply, but it is not a concern unless it is causing problems for mum or baby. Very rarely, rapid weight gain in a breast fed baby can be as a result of a medical condition, but most breast fed babies who initially gain a lot of weight will slim down once they become mobile.
