Overfeeding: Some babies are just not happy unless they are sucking on something. It is not likely that she needs to eat this much, just that she enjoys the sucking and comfort that provides. This can lead to serious overfeeding. Instead of filling her with non-nutritious solids, try working with a pacifier and switch to slower, low flow nipples on her bottles so she has to work harder and longer to feed.
