am I overfeeding?

[catty]

Honest opinions please do you think I am giving my son too much food/milk?

We started weaning around 19/20 weeks with the go ahead from the health visitor and I have slowly gone from one small meal to 3 meals. This is roughly what he would have for his day-


8am - 1 wheetabix with some milk about 4oz milk
9am- the rest of the bottle so another 4oz

12- 8oz bottle of milk
1- pureed veg (not sure on quantity but maybe 10 baby spoons? And a small finger food like a finger of toast

4- 8oz milk
5- half a banana
8- 8oz milk
Midnight - about 6oz milk
4am - 6oz milk

He is 6 months and weighs 21 lbs. He went from the 50th centile to the 95th and does not seem to be slowing in weight gain.
At my mils tonight she fed him pureed apple, she gave him a big bowl and said he wont finish it all this is probably 2 or 3 portions, she eventually took it away as he was still eating and there wasnt much left so he got really upset and then wanted fed milk. I just think his appetite is so huge im worried im overfeeding?

I think maybe he is having a bit more milk than he should be now. Try offering bigger food portions and cutting out a bottle through the night maybe? Saying that though, all babies are different x

Thank you! I know they say every baby is different but hes having alot more milk than the other babies his age that I know. I dont want him to feel hungry and it doesnt affect our day the amount he wants, I guess he just looks pretty big and now the health visitor is showing some worries about it im starting to doubt myslelf
