He is about 16lbs 3oz and 23in.
Only in the last day or two has he been drinking more than four ounces at a time. Today he drank 5oz and then 3oz more about an hour later because he was acting like he was starving! I'm a little worried..should I be?

No no no no....
He is just right.
When it comes to formula, give him as much as he wants. He won't get too fat. It is perfectly balanced. It isn't like other food.
Boys are hungrier by nature anyway.
By the time he hits 6 or 7 months, and is drinking 8 oz 6 times a day, you can start him on solids.

It is according to how how he is. But when you think about it some babies are born weighing 10 pounds so by the time they are like 2 months old they are weighing proably almost 13-14 pounds

lol.. my son was 18 lbs by 4 months and 20 lbs by 6 months..
Its normal for a child to be hungry, they might be going through a growth spurt. don't worry to much.. as long as he is still eating and being active he is perfectly fine

no, he's fine. Just a growing young baby. Don't be worried. Both me and my brother were about that weight (if not more) by the time we were almost 4mos. You just have a big baby, and ther is nothing wrong with that.

He is probably going through a growth spurt. My five year old still goes through phases like that. I have a 6 month old and he is 9kg.

Depending on how old he is and if he is just eating because he is thirsty, give him water and if he does not like the water add a pinch of sugar.

don't worry too much babies go up and down with weight the doctor will let you know if there is an issue........if the baby is hungry he needs to be fed if your concerned call the doctor, that is what they are there for

You're nursing? Make sure he gets enough liquids, the air is so dry indoors during the winter. And breastmilk doesn't quench their thirst.
