I'm worried my baby is overweight.

Kayley • Sat, Aug 13 • 24 years old, I have a little boy who’s 4 and I’m TTC my second baby!! 👶🏻

My son is 7 weeks old and he is guzzling 5/6 oz per feed every 4 hours, the health visitor said that anymore than that and i'll be over feeding him. He doesn't want anymore than the 5/6 oz but i still feel he is wanting too much. He was 7lbs 13oz at birth and is now 11lbs 3oz. He is a wee chunk, and people keep commenting how big he's got. Should i be worried he's overweight?
