I think that as long as the majority of baby's calories are still coming from her breastmilk / formula then you're good to go, most solid food just doesn't have the necessary balance of fats etc for optimum growth and development.

I think you're fine, but you could always make sure to nurse before solids (I think for the supper one you are doing solids and then nursing right after), then you'll know she's getting her fill of milk.

I wouldn't worry. I also have a bottomless pit of a child . At that age he just ate and ate and ate. On top of ounces of solids, he would eat close to 40 oz a day of formula as well! He is now 11 months and 32 lbs. He only eats table food at this point, but he easily out eats his almost 4 year old brother. Give her whatever she needs... they are babies!

My little guy is a big eater and it shows. He's always been near the top of the charts, and since his Dad and I struggle with weight I was concerned. Well, I brought it up at one of his well baby visits and asked if we should be restricting his calories...you should have seen the look his doctor gave me! I guess he thought I was nuts. So I'd say unless your baby's doctor is concerned I'd let her eat until she's full.

That seems like a normal amount of food to me as long as baby is eating it voluntarily. My LO was really excited about the novelty of solid food and ate a LOT at that age. She's still a good eater, but she'll definitely let me know if she's done/not interested now. I think regulating their intake is something babies learn to do if you let them.
