When my daughter was born she ate between two and three times the amount that she was "supposed to." One of my fond memories is laughing with the birth parents and birth grandparents at the hospital about how much she would eat and how strongly she sucked. The nurses told us to limit her feedings, but we all agreed that there would be no stopping her. I'm glad we trusted our instincts because the pediatrician said as long as she wasn't excessively spitting up to let her eat as much and as often as she wanted to. She has slowed down now (she is three months old), but for the first month we jokingly called her "the tank."
