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

That is the correct thing to do. Infant appetite is linked to metabolism. If they are more hungry it is because they need it.

Just make sure not to feed them salty/ sugary foods as it can throw that off some.

Thanks for the tip! Never feed them those two things

You would be amazed at what's in most baby formula. They love to add sugar
