How do know of your baby has been overfed? My 10 month old boy eat porridge twice a day, and drink abt 800-900ml of bm per day.. Is this too much? Mil can feed him porridge af 530pm, a btl of milk at 730pm another at 830pm he is drinking 130ml per feed..but the thg is during weekend whn i am with him, he only drink about 550-600ml of milk and having same qty of porridge Mil feed him milk when he start to get cranky, i suspect he needed some comfort to slp rather then drinking of milk. Am reluctant is offer pacifier to him now.. any advise wat else can i do to know if he is overfeed? or wat can i do to soothe him to slp rather than feed him milk?

Hi there, i think yes u can can overfeed baby if u bottle feed baby. Some babies will reject the bottle if they are full but if they are cranky air adults keep insisting, they will take the bottle and end up drink too much. I think that u need do set up a routine for him to fall asleep. I use pacifier and i think its ok to use pacifier because there will come a time when they will slowly use less of it. Other soothers could be suckling of thumb, having a "thing" to hug for night, latching, tapping butt to sleep, soothing music. A lot of trial and error on ur part as u try and persist for 1+ week whenever u try for something new. 10 months 10 kg is ok actually. Some babies will cluster feed before they sleep at night but urs like a little bit too much. If u are concern that feeding too much, u can consider giving slightly lesser and see if he still asks for the mil. We cant say for sure caz porridge ingredients, nutrients and volume are different. Ur bm is also different (maybe not that mush fat and protein so he will wana drink more?) so its hard to say
