Alrite... may be it's just me. I've been worrying about this lately bcos Ethan does not seem to be satisfied after each feed. He demands to be fed almost every 2 to 2 1/2 hours, especially during the nite. As a first-time-parent, Yvonne and I are so worried that we might be overfeeding Ethan bcos Ethan drinks 4 ounces on every feed.When we talked to those 'more experienced' mommies, they said "It's normal that Ethan is eating frequently. He's just a baby. He needs to have a strong n healthy body to grow". And both of us are like "hmmm... are they talking sense and is there truth on what they are saying?"
Finally, our worry is now answered by some experts' advise.
In fact, Ethan is actually acting like a typical newborn (wow..! that's 1 good news for us.
We thought he's acting unusual at first 
hahaha) This is bcos a newborn's tummy is so small that can only hold a small amount of food, therefore frequent feeding is normal as well as feeding about 8 to 12 times a day (pheeewwww... we thoutht we r gonna overfeed Ethan hehe)So please do not worry about overfeeding your little baby, bcos when they are hungry they need to eat, and the only way to let mommy n daddy know is to cry. So we need to attend to him bcos we want our child to grow up with a sense of trust that their needs will be taken care of.
Be patient and enjoy every minute and hour you spend with your baby. And most importantly, get yourself a good rest in between. Like my folks say "When your baby sleeps, you sleep"
