Can babies eat too much?

[Belfast girl]

This is one for the older babies!

My lo eats a huge amount of food during a day as well as a lot of milk. Just wondering if everyone else's is the same?

Breakfast and lunch is the same amounts as me! 7 oz of milk then a whole weeatbix plus some fruit/ toast then lunch is 6 oz milk and a say Philly sandwich made with 2 bits of bread and then a whole babybel, I feed her dinner and dessert and another 6 oz milk and finally 7 oz of milk at night

Plus she eats a far bit of fruit as snacks during the day?

She doesn't seem to be putting on any weight still so guessing its ok?

She might just burn it off easily!! Pretty sure that is what happens to my little guy as he has 9 oz at every feed plus now I have started weaning him too but still knocks it back!! I fed him at 5.30 this morning a full 9 oz and within 2 hours he was having another 8oz! Lol!! Guess with all the playing etc she must be burning it off!!

They do eat loads, especially in the first year. If you think about it a baby triples it's weight in its first year. Imagine how much you would have to eat to do that!

I thought it was just Francesca that eats like food is going out of fashion!!

Its like a baby version of Man VS Food in our house!!

My LO is the same & he's only been getting weaned for around 2 months. He has 2 adult sized portions of ready brek for breakfast (& cries when thats done) still trying to establish a decent lunch but he has normally a mashed banana or pear and dinner is potatoes or carrots or peas, still very simple at the moment. He just eats & eats & is never satisfied. He only gets 4oz milk each time tho, due to reflux maybe thats the reason

Holly certainly has a good appetite! She has 3 meals and a snack. Tonight we couldn't get chilli and rice on her tray quick enough and she was eyeing up our plates too. Doesn't sit still for long in the day though so guess she must burn up loads of calories, wish it was the same for me lol!

Jack only has two 6oz bottles of milk a day but other than that he eats for England most days and he's a skinny mini! x
