There is a guide on the back of the formula tin as to how much babies of different ages take per feed and how many feeds per day.

Our doctor told us that the first couple of yrs (especially the first) is where a baby's body learns to deal with food.  It can determine weather or not the child will be obese or not.  I think that meant that if you over feed it now, it will always need alot of food?? 

I would check the tin, check her weight gain and if she was too far out I would maybe cut her down abit?  You could always give her a dummy instead, she could just be sucky?
