Overfeeding

Hi everyone My daughter is 7 months old and is doing so well with food. Im doing a mixture of blw and puree. She is having 3 meals a day and is trying loads of different foods. Im trying to give her what we have so she loves a roast dinner, steak pie, soup etc (all made with no salt etc). Im worried 😟 m overfeeding her as she doesnt seem to show signs shes full and if we kept giving her food i fear sbe would just keep eatibg. Anyone else having this worry? In so proud of how well she taken to weaning and how much progress shes made with what she eats but im worried its too much. A few people have commented “she’s fairly filled out” or “shes getting chunky”.

Following as I'm worried my little one is having too much milk after her solids purely because she's a wee milk guzzler. She didn't gain weight properly for ages when she was breastfeeding and the time she went on formula coincided with starting solids so we don't know if she's gained loads because she's actually where she needs to be now or if she's just taking on too much! 🙃

IMO if you was over feeding they would just throw it up like they would if they had too much milk. All the food sounds good and healthy keeo it up And ignore people commenting on your child i have a big baby but she is really skinny at same time no one believes me about her weight and it annoyed me

She will be sick if you over feed her! My boy has 3 meals a day, 1 dessert and normally 2 snacks throughout the day as well. He does tend to indicate he’s full by winging and moving his head but not all the time. Ignore the comments aswell, chunky babies are the best babies 😉

I'm so impressed you ladies can make these meals for the little one. I struggle with time to make different food for my little one. 🥲🥲

@Sharon I give my daughter the same breakfast as it’s all she’ll eat ready brek. But you can do baby porridge or wheatbix then purées / pouches or make something quick like omelette ect. I spend less than 20 mins a day making babys food. I am a single mum I do everything on my own it is possible I promise xx

@Sharon batch cook!! It doesn’t take long at all I don’t think x

@kelly snap! X

Oh I have the same feeling! Mine ia such a good eater and she will literally cry when her bowl of porridge is finished even though she was breasted beforehand. Today I gave her milk, had a big bowl of porridge and a whole banana, this can’t ne normal 😂

Im always worried shes having too much, she only ever seems to refuse food if its something she isnt keen on, otherwise she will continue to eat. She definitely seems to be putting pn weight which is good but i just dont want to over feed. I batch cook too and tik tok is great for recipe ideas! Thanks for everyones advice, its made me feel a lot better! Xx

My daughter is the exact same. 3 meals a day plus a couple snacks in the day. How many bottles are you giving? Mine is just having one at night before bed. And she is drinking from a beaker in the day but I’m worried she’s not having enough liquid in the day x
