<p>Is it possible our lo's will overfeed themselves?</p>
<p>My little guy is 6 months...we just started BLW. He's had a couple bites of avocado, sucked on a hunk of steak, some bites of butternut squash...he seems to LOVE to eat. But, last night we gave him banana....he couldn't get enough! He must have actually swallowed more than half the banana. Then..last night, he was really fussy, didn't sleep well, and has been fussy most the day today. Is it possible I let him eat too much? I thought one of the main tenants of BLW was that they wouldn't over feed themselves. Perhaps he was just fussy for other reasons (very likely). (I've spent 6 months trying figure out why he's fussy when he is, with no luck.) I did help with the banana...meaning the banana was on my hand/in my fingers, and he brought my fingers to his mouth to eat. But I think that still qualifies as him feeding himself, right?</p>
