Is giving your infant as much food as they want within reason, reasonable? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My partner feeds them a fine amount but occasionally I will feed them more as they’re still hungry then they nap for 2-4x longer. Is this potential food comma healthy? They exhibit no unhealthy signs and are happily eating until they refuse food, so they recognize their own fullness

Yeah it's fine. Feed till they express that they're full. You're not causing any harm.

And then there is me who can't feel hunger or full and as a kid the doctor told my mother the same thing and after 5 or 6 full jars of baby food, she decided better of it lol.

Here's a relevant episode from a parenting podcast I really like, although it may be more relevant to older children than yours:
