Our son is almost 3 months old. I feed him as often as he likes, how much he likes. But is is quit big and a bit chubby. Is it possible to give too much breastmilk?

My son is 2 months old and already doubled his weight and is exclusively breastfed. He is already fitting in 3 months-6 months outfits. You are not alone.

I dont believe you can give tooo much breast milk. All the breast feeding places tell you to feed on demand. And as long as they are healthy and happy, the weight will be lost soon.

im suprised no one has commented on this one yet. my son is breastfed too whenever he likes as much as he likes and is also big for his age, quite a porker too. his doctor told me that everything is fine. he is too young to worry about this and that as he gets older he will lose the baby weight. some babies are just chubbier than others i guess ;)
