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. Any excess comes up again. It's normal. The food coma is normal too. My oldest usually slept for 3 hours after eating like a bear for lunch. He's now 13 and survived infancy just fine.
