in general babies only eat when they are hungry personnally i would increase her cereal intake and have a chat with your health visitor to put your mind at rest.
remember most times mothers really do know best.

Try putting a scoop full of cereal in her bottles. 1 scoop full for every 8oz.They will eat like that the doctors say it's a growing time for them. I got worried when my daughter did it too. But don't worry. God Bless & Congrads on the new baby.

That is a lot. You should probably ask your doctor. I can't even remember how much my kids ate at that age but I remember they only ate cereal once or twice a day. You could be overfeeding her and giving her a stomach ache. Is she burping or spitting up a lot? If that is the case you might want to back off and not feed her so much.

She might be having a growth spurt, which could be reason for her eating more than usual. You will see that about your kids, my son is 5 and wow, can I tell when he is growing, he'll eat everything in sight. I would say to appease her and give her a little more at a time.

Try feeding her more cereal. It sounds like she's not getting enough solid food to feel satisfied. Offer her a bottle after she's eaten the cereal.

I think you could start her on some baby food applesauce. My son started eating baby food around 5 months old.

She is probably going through a growth spurt and you should start her on baby food.
