I know I shouldn't worry & be grateful that my bf journey has been so easy especially compared to others who have really struggled but I am hoping someone get set me straight cause with this mother gig there are so much advice & so much of it is conflicting so here goes...

I have always been told you can't overfeed a bf baby, so this in turn means you can overfeed a ff baby. By this I would think that it means a baby can be a big baby but if it is bf then it doesn't matter. Then I was reading in another thread (& yes I may have misunderstood but because it was about a whole range of things not just this I have posted here for some clarification) that what can happen is a baby can feed so much that they make themselves sick, by this I assumed they meant a baby's tummy is only so big but they drink so much that they drink too much which can cause milk to come up the tummy tube (can't think of the scientific name) & cause reflux.

The reason I am concerned is my DS is now 7 mnths & weighs 11kgs, which is the size of most 1/2 year olds. He is over 75cm tall last time he was measured about a mnth ago & is definitely taller now. He is definitely chubby, double chin, lovely big cheeks, solid arms & legs to the point he has dimples on his hands, he is very, very healthy but he seems to be in proportion. As he has been fully bf until I started solids I am very proud (& he was always on this bigger side before starting solids so that isn't the cause) I suppose the whole mother guilt thing has me worried cause he has always seemed to have silent reflux, rarely sleeps more than 2 hrs at a time, he feeds only from one side now for only a few mins at a time cause he doesn't want anymore than that, when I express I get 100ml & I don't express that often so there is lots of milk. Even with solids he tends to feed every 2/3 hrs & he feeds fairly regularly overnight. I keep him asleep at night by feeding him as soon as he wakes so he goes straight back to sleep & sometimes that is only 30 mins since his last feed. Am I teaching him to be a comfort eater like I am, am I setting him up for obesity??

Does anyone really know?? can anyone help??
