Baby not getting full

We started weaning our DD on simple purées somewhere between 4-5 months as she was very interested in food and seemed ready. She’s now nearly 6.5mo and has a very hearty appetite.

Tonight she had a full milk feed (BF) followed by a large portion of jacket potato cheesy beans with broccoli, a small taste of dhal, half a banana and a scoop of yoghurt. I honestly think she’d keep going if we let her. All the guidance says they’ll let you know when they’re full, which she did the first couple of tastes of food she had at 4mo, but I haven’t managed to fill her up since! WWYD? Keep feeding until she shows signs she’s full, or stop at what you think is a reasonable amount? Tempted to get her checked out for worms 😂

Don't worry mine is similar but some days they'll be fussy with illness and Teething. At 6.5 months just give how much you like till baby refuses or you get tired lol. As milk will still be the main thing for then anyway.

Unless there's an obvious problem, like she's on the 2nd centile for height but the 98th for weight or she's eating until she vomits then I wouldn't worry.
