Can 6 month old baby overfeed with solids?

I would also think not to worry at all.  I have asked the health nurses about the same question.  They say as long as LOs are happy.  We decide what kind of foods they eat, like no added salt and sugar, LOs can decide how much they want.  DS was eating and is still eating more than the milk he has dropped (I used the conversion of 1oz milk/formular = 25g solids).  DS was gaining massive weight before, really chubby and now even eating more solids and he's slimming down due to his high activities. 

Just enjoy having a good eater!  Lots of mama's would be very jealous

sis500, I would talk to your dr about the vomiting.  It is not normal for los to regurgitate their food.  In the meantime maybe decrease the amount so that he would not bring up the solids. 

Update us on what your dr says.

Thanks for the replies.

I guess I should be grateful that he eats so well! I seem to have turned him the opposite way now!

Yesterday I decided to give him 6oz bottles at lunch and tea instead of 5oz, and i gave these before solids instead of after. Then he only ate a fraction of what he normally would at his solid meals. And the same today after having a 7oz bottle at lunch. But I guess this is good because it means he's still getting his main nutrition from the milk and he can stop when full up after all, he won't just keep going til he pops which I had started to think!! The result of the last two days has been that he has definitely been sick a lot less than before which is good.....

sis, good to hear that he is not getting sick from the solids.  Continue with the bottles before solids until he is much older.
