I only feed my seven week old son pumped breast milk in the bottle. I was worried that he might be eating too much at first because he was gaining weight fast. His doc said dont worry a baby will not over eat, but my lactation nurse told me that pumping and bottle feeding him will cause him to over eat. I didn’t know who to believe. Now that I have been doing this for seven weeks I can with confidence say a baby will NOT over eat via bottle. I burp him well about every ounce to two and this gives him a break to feel fullness. I know he is full when he will pucker those lips shut, or play with the bottle nipple and not suck and so on. He never eats the same amount at each feeding, at night he will have anywhere from 4 to 5 ounces of bm and in the morning he will haven 3 to 4 ounces, it depends on his demand. One night he was having a growth spurt so eat like crazy. I just don’t believe a baby will over eat I’ll whether surfed in a bottle or not!!!

I think you may be right. There’s a strong habit of discouraging food waste. I always hated disposing of unfinished pumped breast milk, and I’m sure those who formula feed can’t help but think of the cost of the formula.
