My DD is 5 months and we have started on some solids. We just do one "meal" a day at the mo - after her 11 am bottle I offer some baby rice and milk and we've also tried her on puréed potato and carrot. She loves both but how much of it am I meant to give?
She has a bottle and usually manages about 6oz until she's fed up of it or won't have any more. Then we go and sit at the kitchen table and have some food. But she just keeps eating! She seemed to have loads of her solids today and would just open her mouth for the spoon for more and swallow the food I put in there. I've read things that say baby will let you know when she's full.
Is she genuinely not full?? Should I keep going until she won't have anymore or give her a small portion and stop? I worry also that she's filling up on the solids too much and then won't be bothered about her bottle later in the day and end up malnourished or dehydrated :(
