[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 2.5 week old baby boy and we are EBF. We have been seeing a lactation consultant to help make sure we are breastfeeding successfully. My baby is a one that loves to eat. He seems to want to eat every hour and sometimes even every 30 minutes. The pediatrician was surprised by his weight gain at 2 weeks and asked us what we had been doing. He told us that we should not be letting him eat every 30 minutes. He thinks he is overeating by eating that often or just snacking. He said to feed him every two hours. The lactation consultant said that is crazy and to feed on-demand, even if that means every 30 minutes. I feel reassurance from the lactation consultant, but I also value the pediatricians advice. I’m confused what to do and who to follow. [/quote] Feed on demand. And get a new ped. [/quote]
