After reading a thread in the breast/bottle feeding section, ive started to wonder if dd is having too much food??! she is 7 months and a bit
this is what she has;

morning , boob before we get up
weetabix
then boob, and back to bed.

lunch ; whatever i am eating ( trying to be healthy) and a yoghurt
juice

then some finger food in the afternoon,( biscotti or rice cakes) and some juice

tea half a large jar and a yoghurt then a bootle or boob

Also she feeds a few times in the night!
Do you think she has too much food?

Im no expert but this sounds fine. My DD (also 7 months) has this amount also.

no sounds fine. why are you worried, does she very overweight? babies need food to grow! sounds like you are giving her a nice variety which bodes well for future eating habits.

DD went through stages of eating what seemed far too much to me and then not enough I do believe they know how much they want. If you are still BFing then she will just have a bit more Milk if she fancies more.

Now she is 19m and never seems to eat enough, apparently their appitite drops!

No shes not overweight, but i read something about some babies just having a yoghurt etc.
It's just that she'll eat anything lol!
Im just a worrier. I mean, unmless i came on here, no one really tells you what and how much you should feed them do they? well no one has helped me, apart from family

you sound like you are doing brilliantly. some babies just eat yoghurt which is also fine, they're all different.

my DS will eat anything (except sandwiches - strange child!) too and i think thats because i did what you've been doing at your DDs age, just offered loads of different things.

worrying is normal, its called being a mum!
