Do you feed your Los until they're stuffed??
Really weird question but when Lo has finished their meal, do you keep offering more until they're full or (unless they're crying of course) just leave them?
Gabe's eating solids nicely now *fingers crossed* but HV said to feed him more and asked if he was eating everything I give him which he usually does. But he doesn't cry for any more and I think 1/2 a (stage 2) jar or equivalent of main and 1/2 of pud for each meal is well enough for an 8.5 month old. But she said to feed him until he was genuinely full...but I think he would just keep eating and be sick!
What do you do??
Gabe has dropped from the 91st centile to the 60th and still steadily dropping. He's 20lb 9oz at 38 weeks, I dont think he is starving by any means, lol, but HV seems to think he is!!!!

I dont literalyl fill her up untill she is cyring. sometimes It hink Ic ould feed her more, but if I dont ahve any food prepared then I dont. Pudding I give her 2-3 tablespoons of home ade yogurt. If she doesnt eat it all I finish it off!
Is Gabe being alot more active than the previous monht. He may just be burning teh calories he eats off. My lo is just under 50th centile, was just above it untill about a month ago. HV says shes probably burning off the food I give her during the day/
Does Gabe appear to be full or kean for more. He you think he might it some more, you could maybe offer him 2/3s of the jar as see how he takes to it. IF hes having several pieces of finger food as wll as half jar then I, sure hes fine on that too.
I was giving Ruby set amounts but on the advice of the HV started to give her more until she decided she had enough!
Apparently it's best to be led by the baby.
Ruby is 6 months old next week but is having more than Gabe.
She just doesn't open her mouth anymore when she has had enough - in fact she usually starts to chew her bib or the muslin!
She is a good steady weight only dropping one centile but maintaining that since weaning at 17 weeks.
Maybe just try offering a bit more and see what he does. If he does eat until he is sick, you will know its too much for next time!
Hope that helps. x
Evan constantly seems hungry and will eat and eat its hard cause im told to just feed him till he refuses but that can be a lot of food!!
eats bib...., mouth open ...grabs spoon...this is more so when really hungry.
full up...clamps mouth shut....archs back and turns head away...starts mesing about...she will burp and then I know to stop. I have found with milk if Itry andg et her to have more shes sick!
Mrs E..how much is Ruby having? My los a week younger than Gabe.
He is not active really - he is sitting well but rarely rolls and doesnt crawl! lol!
