They say that you can't overfeed a breastfed baby. But my 4-month old always drinks everything I have to offer then spits out excess milk the moment she unlatches (milk literally dribbles out the corner of her mouth). How do I help her learn not to overeat? P.S. She's in the 90 percentile for weight and 50 percentile for height.

Mom to one inquisitive little tot

Direct latch babies don't usually overfeed themselves unless they have a bit of reflux problem. In such cases babies may tend to take in more milk than they should. This is to soothe the irritation from the reflux.
