I feel like im over feeding my 7 week old she eats 4oz every 2-3 hours and shes getting pretty chubby, when do babys start loosing weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breastfeed: Breastfeeding provides milk to babies naturally (babies have to put effort into feeding, and the breastmilk doesn't come out as easily nor as endlessly as when a baby drinks from a bottle). Otherwise, each baby gets checked at age 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, etc... and the doctor will provide advise IF the baby is too chubby. Many babies start off chubby but become less so after 6 mon.
