I usually give her more if she asks for more.
She's never eaten an alarming amount of food though

I think it's up to you. I have over fed DS before and he's thrown up so I like to do smaller meals and a little bigger snack. Like DS might have a cup of veggies and chicken for lunch then fruit, yogurt and crackers for a snack, so he's not so full that he doesn't want to play lol.

I cut him off of purees - he sometimes will overeat on them and then wont' drink as much milk. So I usually will only allow 2-3 oz of puree in a feeding.

I am so glad to hear other people have big eaters. Our pediatrician said not to worry as long as he doesn't throw up. He eats a ton! People are always shocked when they seem him eat. I let him have as much fruit and veggies as he wants. I do cut him off on grains and protein. He already eats well over the recommended protein amount. Well, I guess he is actually over in all categories. The lactation consultant calculated he was drinking 6 ounces in one feeding at 2.5 weeks, so he has always loved food... He is only 60th percentile in weight though, so he must have a great metabolism.

I don't ever cut him off even though sometimes he eats A LOT. I figure he's growing and will stop when he's had enough though.
