If you're breastfeeding, there's no such thing as "too much feeding" — when your baby is full, they'll release your breast and push away, or spit up extra. But if you're bottle feeding with formula, giving more than your baby needs per feeding can cause vomiting, gas pain, and diarrhea.
Overfeeding with bottle formula over time can also lead to faster weight gain. The safest way is to watch your baby's hunger and fullness signals and never push them to finish the bottle. Your baby's hunger and fullness cues are the best guide.
If you're worried about amount or if there's constant vomiting and gas, talk to your pediatrician.
