He wants to feed as often as every hour and sometimes more

[Sair]

I like that mantra, the Dr has another idea about that though. I am apparently overfeeding my little Noah because he has started vomiting after most feeds Oh well, I will just keep doing what I am doing, it can't be that wrong, he is a happy baby and a fast growing one at that...

Hi,

Having a 3 week old baby certainly keeps you on your toes, doesn't it. Is Noah your first?
It's pretty common for breastfed babies to feed 8-12 times in 24 hours - sometimes even more! Our minds quickly turn that into *every 2- 3 hours*. But that's not usually the case. In a 24 hour period babies tend to have one long(ish!) sleep - at 3 weeks that probably 3 hrs - 4 if you get really lucky, and one time of the day when they tend to want a cluster of feeds - several feeds in a very short time.
What have Noah's weight gains been like? Does he have settled periods? What have his wet and dirty nappies been like? (sorry for all the questions, but it helps build up a picture.)
Sucking is a powerul need for babies. So they tend to suck when they are hungry and suck when they are tired, and suck at other times as well. It's hard to iron out what's what in the early days. As time goes on you will get to know Noah's needs more easily.

It's not a problem to feed him every hour if you are OK with that. It will help your milk supply. His pattern will quickly change.

Warm Regards
