[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are you holding the bottle? If you hold it vertically, so that milk is dripping out because of gravity, baby will swallow defensively and may drink more than he really means to. If you hold it horizontally, so milk only comes out through active sucking, baby will drink exactly the right amount for him (assuming no health/medical reasons interfere with his ability to suck).[/quote] OP here. My lactation consultant said not to feed like that because baby can get a lot of trapped air and gas. She said that’s a very outdated way of feeding a baby and it’s unnecessary. We hold him pretty high up and feed him normally. We burp him after 2oz and then after 1oz. He lets us know if he is full or wants more. I don’t think 28-32oz is a lot for his age. [/quote]
