Have I overfed my 9.5mo baby - she vomitted big time

My 9.5mth old is healthy and happy. I thought she was eating unusually well at dinner time. I fed her her dinner and as she was still in her high chair I gave her bits of her brother's dinner as well. So she had Spag Bol, cheese, omlette and sausage and then a little formula before she chucked it all back up.

During the afternoon she had already had formula, raw carrot, apple and milk arrowroot biscuit. I don't think anything individually would have upset her but on reflection it was a lot of food and certainly looked like a lot when it came back up.

I gave her a bath afterwards which she played in happily and she was not interested in anymore milk and she went happily to bed.

So my question is - just too much food or has something upset her tummy or is she coming down with something? Thanks in advance. (I feel like such a bad mummy already so please don't flame me ...)

Sounds like she may have just had a bit too much. Don't worry about it though, it happens. You'll soon know if she's unwell because she'll do it again and show other signs of illness.
I remember being out with some friends and feeding ds1 a jar, I must have done it too quickly as the minute I finished, he chucked the whole lot up all over himself, it looked exactly the same as it did going down. I was very embarassed, but nevermind!

Thanks, she slept fine and carried on like nothing had happened. I just need to keep track of how much I feed her (but I am such a nappy brain).
