I can't believe it was nearly 6 months ago now, it sounds so cliche, but it really does feel like it was yesterday. Good luck, I miss my little newborn :) HLK208 on "Does this seem like an over supply of pumped milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-seem-like-an-over-supply-of-pumped-milk#post-192519 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 16:23:36 +0000 HLK208 192519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Whew, okay--good to know! I'm thinking maybe because this is the second time around that my milk is coming in faster? I'm not sure. @Mrs. Stroller: 9 hours would be heavenly!!

Baby S was sleeping that much around then and up to 9 hour stretches at a time by 2.5w. Rare, but wonderful! Are you bf'ing too or exclusively pumping? She might do the same with bfing and then you could enjoy those stretches at night too!

You can't overfeed a baby breast milk, whether its from the breast or a bottle. She is just a hungry baby!! With my LO, she wont take more than 4 ounces at a feeding, but every baby is different! sorrycharlie on "Does this seem like an over supply of pumped milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-seem-like-an-over-supply-of-pumped-milk#post-192488 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:35:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 192488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ ooh I don't know anything about breastfeeding, but this is one of those posts I want to read to keep me motivated to try it!! 5-6 hours sounds fantastic! otherwise - the LOs I nanny were on formula, and I'm pretty sure they were drinking 3-4 oz of milk per serving from the beginning..but the details are fuzzy. 1.5 years ago! :) HLK208 on "Does this seem like an over supply of pumped milk?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-seem-like-an-over-supply-of-pumped-milk#post-192484 Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:31:05 +0000 HLK208 192484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ At night I'm now getting 5 ounces of milk every time I pump (every 3-4 hours). What's crazy to me is that DD (who is a week old) can eat almost all of it but she also just started a few 5-6 hour stretches of sleep?! Does this sound normal? Is there an over supply if she's eating that much or is it possible to over feed a newborn with pumped milk? She's not spitting up and she's also a good burper. With DS I could only pump an ounce, maybe two if I was lucky but he was also only sleeping 2 hour stretches.
