I agree with Lee also. For anyone who is breastfeeding, you CANNOT feed them too much. Most doctors will agree that a chuncky breastfeed baby is perfectly healthy whereas a chunky bottle feed baby is probably eating too much. I don't know exactly why but many tests show that breastfeed babies have less problems with overeating as adults.
I would say read a lot of books on breastfeeding because it really is the best thing to do for your children. You are more likely to give up if you are not informed. Good luck!
