he wont eat more than he wants.Our son, although one now will only ever eat what he wants.Its always beter to feed on "demand" then they're getting what they need.We did this for our son, & although hes a chubby thing, he hasn't started crawling yet, so he isn't "burning the fat" I feel i did the right thing because hes a healthy happy beautiful little boy. Good luck with your adorable bubba!!!

i don't think you are over feeding him. if he isn't throwing it up then you probably aren't. let him eat until he is full. he needs all that he can take because he is only drinking formula and no food. but to be more safe, ask your babies doctor the next time you bring him.
