Gi told me to feed 10 week old until content. she will take 5-6 oz every 3-4 hrs and seems she would take more if i let her. is this normal/ok?

Probably: A young infant feeds often to match their growth needs.They can usually fit 1/2 their poundage as ounces in their stomach at a feeding. (8lb=4oz) Any more and that + the air they swallow can lead to more spit ups.If the kid is filling out and playful this is working out well.
