6 week old overfeeding

My son is 6 weeks old and he doesnt seem content with 4 oz. He either wants more or wants to eat after 2 hours. He ate 6 ounces and 2 hours later wanted more. How do i stop overfeeding?

A baby will eat when hungry, and will not eat when not hungry. Feed on demand.  They tend to eat more during growth spurts.

You can't overfeed a baby. If you do, they will throw it up.
