Our doctor has told me i'm over feeding my month old baby, he was on 5oz and due to his reflux and going off his weight he's getting too much milk.I dropped an oz but everytime he's finished he's crying for more. Would you listen to them? Do they expect me to just leave him to cry, i try everything i can to settle him but he just wants more milk

This happened to me, and they put me on a feeding schedule, I hated it cuz my baby wanted more milk and was so unhappy.
If he has reflux he can be feeding to soothe so he might be crying because of that , but personally looking back, I would have listened to my instincts and baby rather than the doctors a bit more. Do what you think is best.
My baby is now on the 99th percentile and eats more food than my 9 yr old stepdaughter. He’s not yet 1 and is in 18-24 month clothing. He clearly just wanted his milk/food because he was growing, so yeah, I regret listening to the doctors ‘calculations’
