6 month old - big eater?

Started weaning last week, she is on 3 meals a day (plus 4 x 8 oz bottles)I can't seem to shovel the food into her mouth quick enough! and she cleared every bowl so far.
I'm now doing 6 icecubes worth at each meal and nearly a whole weetabix for breakfast. Obviously I need to increase the quantity just wondering what amounts others had/are having.

Thanks

I'd take it a bit slowly. This much solids, all of a sudden, might be a bit much on her gut. Her main nutrition should still come from milk.

I agree that at this early stage solids should only be for tasters. Most of her nutrition should come from her milk - if she is eating this amount I would up her milk intake or give milk before solids so as not to jeopardise her nutritional intake.
