So my baby will be 2weeks tommorow and I dont understand how your suppose to know if your baby wants more milk. I pump into 2oz bottels and yesterday she was acting like she was still hungry so I fed her half of another bottel I had to stop her because she would have kept going she started spitting up so much which she never does so I guess I over fed her but how will I know when to up how much im giving her... please don't judge in any way im a ftm

She probably just wants something to suck on. My son does that when he's full, so I'll give him his paci. I'm not sure if you give her a pacifier or not but she probably just wants to suck on something. Its soothing to a baby.

When i breastfed my son, his doctor said that if be wants more than give it to him. Breastmilk is the healthiest thing for them. You can't give a baby too much milk but you can give a baby less milk.... my son would eat anywhere from 5-8 ounces at a time. But now he's on formula he snacks all day/:
