Overeating?

Ophelia

My baby boy is 4 weeks old and is eating 4 oz every 2-3 hours. He has been gaining weight pretty fast within the past week because of this surplus of eating. His pediatrician said that he is overeating and that he should be eating 4 oz every three hours or more.

I always feed on demand and I hate trying to make him wait longer for food because all he does is scream and cry.

Is this amount normal? I just need some peace of mind.
