Please listen to your pediatrician.

Why are you bottle feeding if you’re giving your baby mostly
breastmilk? He will self regulate if you breastfeed.

Please fire your LC

OP here. We had match issues. I pump and we bottle feed him. He eats until he is full. There have been plenty of times where we filled the bottle to 4oz at he only ate 2-3oz. It takes him 20-30 minutes to eat.

OP, fire your LC.

That is dangerous advice.

Babies know what they need to eat. Breastmilk is the best thing to feed a baby. Its easily digested and made custom by your body for your baby. I would ditch the lactation consultant. She seems to have food issues.

That LC is crazy in a very dangerous way and needs to go. Your baby is not overeating at 4 weeks, I promise you, OP. As you said, he stops when he's full. My DD was just like this, a huge eater as an infant. She slowed down as a toddler which is very common.

Your baby is fine. Let him eat as much as he wants.
