The only tip I've read is to stop feeding when they turn away.<br /> Otherwise no--you can't over feed a baby.</p> <p>Don't worry, mama! My 7 month old is 90th percentile for chubby and he hates solid food. It's just how he was meant to be. My nephew is 3rd percentile for weight and he LOVES food and seriously devours everything. That is how he was meant to be. It happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-over-feed-an-infant#post-483586 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 08:46:57 +0000 MamaBehr 483586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a larger 10 month old (80th percentile) and he is bottle fed. He gets between 30 and 32 ounces of formula a day and three meals. At each meal he gets on puree or yogurt and an IMENSE amount of finger foods. Cheerios, puffs, Lil' crunchies OH MY! He also gets a little bit of whatever we are eating. He just eats and eats and eats until I stop putting something in front of him. I'm so concerned that I'm called the pediatrician tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else encountered a baby hunger that was insatiable. </p>
