A member asked:

Not sure why but i wasn't able to successfully breastfeed my baby. does that have any link to puberty like that i didn't have a normal puberty?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many factors: Breastfeeding is a lot harder than many women anticipate it will be. There are so many factors that can influence it - diet, stress, anatomy, baby, etc. I wouldn't put an "abnormal puberty" on the list of possibilities.

I just need to know can babies overfeed themselves? I breastfeed probably every 2-3 hours when I can tell baby wants to eat sometimes she wants to a little earlier. She is 2 months. Her Dr says to wait 3-4 hours and she's gaining weight too quickly?
