Can You Overfeed a Breastfed Baby? Understanding Baby’s Hunger and Fullness Cues

**Description:**
Many new moms wonder, **"Can I overfeed my baby while breastfeeding?"** The simple answer is—**no, it’s very unlikely!** Unlike bottle-feeding, breastfeeding is a natural process where babies control how much milk they drink. They stop feeding when they’re full and eat more when they need extra nutrition.

In this video, we’ll cover:
✔️ Why overfeeding is rare in breastfed babies
✔️ How babies regulate their own milk intake
✔️ Signs your baby is full vs. still hungry
✔️ How to respond to hunger cues correctly
✔️ What to do if your baby seems to be feeding too often

### **Why Overfeeding Is Rare in Breastfed Babies:**
🔹 Breastfeeding is baby-led—your baby nurses based on hunger, not bottle flow.
🔹 Breast milk **digests quickly**, so frequent feeds are normal.
🔹 Babies naturally unlatch when full and refuse the breast when they don’t need more.
🔹 Comfort nursing is common, but it doesn't mean they are overfed.

### **Signs Your Baby Is Full:**
✅ **Baby unlatches on their own** and seems content.
✅ **Relaxed body and hands** (not clenched fists).
✅ **Fewer sucking motions** and slower feeding near the end.
✅ **Falls asleep or turns away from the breast**.

💡 **What If Your Baby Wants to Nurse All the Time?**
🔹 Newborns have **small stomachs** and need to feed frequently (8-12 times a day).
🔹 Cluster feeding is **normal**, especially during growth spurts.
🔹 Babies may also nurse for **comfort and bonding**, not just hunger.
