Samantha will be 5 months this saturday.She is eating to much or maybe its normal.

She drinks her formula every 2 1/2 hours about 5 onces and in between 3 foods..1 Cereal, 2 Carots,3 Banana or any other fruit.

Am i overfeeding her? Or is it normal?

From my viewpoint, that's great!!! Most of our kids have such a hard time eating at this age, Darah ESPECIALLY!! It seems to me, the over-eating should only becomes a problem when increase in weight coincides. I did just think of one thing, though. We check Darah's thyroid every six months, and I know a hyper-thyroid can make you need to eat more. Most kids with DS that have thyroid issues have the opposite, but it's not unheard of to have a hyperthyroid and DS. Darah does. That may be one thing to have screened just in case??? But unless anyone has any real knowledge...GOOD FOR SAMANTHA THE PIGGY!!!

I'm with Mckenna. Teh more they eat the better. OUr kids tend to be somewhat small so if she wil eat all that and hold it down GREAT! i feed Avery three meals and two or three snacks daily. She loves to eat! By the way your baby is a beauty. I love her pictures!
