How much is too much? 10.5 months

So my daughter eats an incredible amount of food... I didn't really notice until we had a 7 yr old staying, and she ate just about the same amount of food!

Breakfast is normally 1 weetbix or toast, plus fruit (about 3/4 cup full)

Snack is something small-ish, maybe a cream-cheese cruskit.

Lunch is often left-over dinner, yesterday was 1/2 cup spaghetti and 1/2 cup bolognese sauce. And then some fruit.

Afternoon tea yesterday was about 1/3 a round of watermelon, and 8 grapes.

Dinner was quiche (an 8th of the dish), 6 slices beetroot, 1/4 tomato, MORE grapes (they're going off, so eating quickly!).

To top all this off, she's still BF on demand, so often 4-6 times a day. She's also offered water at every solids meal, and throughout the day, and can drink 150ml every day easily.

She does stop when she's full, and tosses the food off the highchair. I have given her more when she's finished her plateful if she's still trying to pick up crumbs, but if she's finished she'll just stop and try to get out of the highchair. I was just stunned to see the 7yr old eat less dinner than my less-than 1yr old.

She's a large-ish baby, 10kg, but she was when she was born too (4.1kg). She hasn't deviated from the 85% line for weight and the 95% line for height since birth, so she is normal for her.

I don't want to make a big deal about food, we've gone the BLW route so she has always decided how much and what to eat. Can someone please just reassure me that she's not TOTALLY overfed? I'm sure she'd refuse it if she wasn't hungry...

Sorry for the novel, and thanks in advance from a slightly paranoid first-timer!

That sounds about how much Henry was eating from around 8months until just recently when he's slowed down a bit. It used to shock me that he could eat more than me, even when i was pregnant lol.
For breakfast he would eat 2weetbix, a banana and 1/4 cup of yoghurt every morning and then would often demand a piece of our toast when we were eating breakfast. Just for comparison.
He was also breastfed on demand until he self weaned at 13-14months.
If there are times where she does refuse food i would just trust that she knows when she's full. Im a little bit worried what he's going to be like as a teenager if this is what he's like as a toddler lol

Josh was a really big baby and was about 10kg from about 4 or 5 mths he ate alot. I was always told you cant overfeed a baby (they need a lot more because of all the growing and developing) They dont learn to overfeed until they reach the toddler years and dont need as much food then but parents tend to make them eat one more mouthful because they dont think they have had enough where as baby just start spitting it back at you. Josh was also a big formula drinker and was put on hungry baby formula which didnt make him want to cut back at all. Plunket tried to get me to cut back his bottles a few times but i prefered a happy baby rather than an upset hungry one so let josh decide on how much he wanted and when.

Josh was a very round chubby baby above the plunket lines (although a small baby at birth) but as soon as he got the walking sorted he lost it all and has only gained 2 or 3 kg in the past year and is pretty tall for his age. He hardly eats anything now (unless its roast chicken or blueberries) but isnt getting too skinny and still has tonnes of energy so it doesnt worry me

If your baby is happy eating that much then there is nothing wrong with it.

Oh good, thanks guys. Had a small freakout and started doubting myself, I think! Good to know it will taper off - I had visions of her eating coleslaw out of a cement mixer by age 8...

LMAO thanks Squishy  That sounds about what Clodagh eats and I was beginning to worry she had that Prader-Willie syndrome (or whatever its called), where they can't pass the refridgerator without eating it's entire contents!
