I have a 51/2 month old DD, whom I have started to wean a few weeks ago. She currently has 4 x 8oz bottles per day, sometimes she doesn't finish them if she has had enough food. At lunch time I offer 1/2 bottle, food then the rest of bottle & often she will only take 1 or 2 oz more.
At night I give her an 8oz bottle & then her dinner. She has the full bottle & then just eats & eats & eats!! She basically keeps going until I get worried that she has had WAY too much and stop feeding her. I get stressed she will vomit in her sleep and choke. She has silent reflux and when I put her down tonight she smelt very strongly of vomit.
I am now sitting outside the bedroom door listening to her, too stressed to go downstairs.
Any suggestions on how much I should feed her? Tonight she had 1/2 a sweet potato with a handful of peas and sweetcorn blended with approx 11/2oz milk, she also managed to guzzle down some apple and pear puree too, not too much as I was freaked out at this stage! Prob 1/4 of an apple and pear.
She is a BIG girl (as you can imagine!) 98th centile for all measurements (so at least in proportion), so perhaps she just wants a lot of food to satisfy her?
