Is my baby overfed?

My baby is almost 12w,5kg and eats 80ml every 2h in the day. After each feed she'll always cry. Some people have been telling me that she doesn't have enough to eat thus the crying, but I've noticed she'll settle and be ok after she burp tho she spit up quite a bit sometimes. I've also tried to up to 90/100ml before but she's still the same. Should I keep to the same amount or decrease/increase? TIA!

I don’t think your baby is over fed, you can track her weight chart and see if her weight is increasing around 200g/wk, if it’s increasing and baby is peeing well then probably no concern. The estimated total feed per day should be body weight(kg) X 150ml. My baby is 8weeks and around 5kg, drinking 90-100ml per 2hr |. Sometimes changing the FM that suits her tummy may help with easing the spitting.
