Does anyone else feel like...

their LO is eating all. the. time? 

I swear I am constantly feeding Auden.  I feel awful, like I am shoving food down his throat, but he always takes it so I guess he's fine. 

We nurse, then offer a bottle, and with trying to get in three meals a day, I feel like there is never enough time.

Anyone else having this problem?  Any suggestions?

You probably feel that way because you are still trying to top him up, and because you want to make sure his weight gain continues to go well.. when DS was first born he lost a TON (more than he should have, like >15%) of weight, and so the LC had us BFing, then pumping, then topping him up with formula or BM for EVERY feed. I literally sat in my house and in my head was "feed the baby, feed the baby" because that's all we did. Hopefully in the coming months you can spread things out a bit more and start to feel a little more normal!
