How much food?

My DD is 7 months and loves Ready Brek, I make up an adult portion of it according to the instructions on the box and she eats it up no problem and still wants more!

Should I make more up for her?
Do I feed her till she's full or control how much she has?

Does she turn away when she has had enough?

Porridge might work out cheaper if she is eating lots!

She spits it out when she's had enough but she eats so much! Should I be worried about over feeding her?

Did you FF or BF? BF babies can regulate their own appetite and if you FF then I would use whatever guided you in the amounts you gave there?

If she really overfeeds then she will bring it back up. As long as you are not trying to get her to eat when she doesn't want to, I wouldn't worry!

Just make sure that LO is still having milk on demand at this stage...And always offer milk first...
