Wakes every 2 hrs at night to eat 4 oz each time-out of control!

My 7 week out is out of control.  He wakes every two hours to eat at least 4 oz of formula each time.  During the day, he eats every 2-3 hours and eats between 3-6 oz. 

He is in the 89th percentile (or at least was two weeks ago at his drs appt) and I just don't know what to do.  He never throws up or spits up large amounts which is a tell tale sign of overfeeding your child. 

I want to get more sleep at night.  Once we switched from regular Enfamil formula to formula for gassiness and fussiness, it seems as though he is as filled as he was before. 

Anyone else going through this?

    Your LO is still very young, he may just be an every 2 hour eater at night. Give him some time, Every baby is different, DS#1 was like that but DS#2 will sleep 5-6 hours stretches it just depends on the baby I guess. I know it's rough but he'll grow out of it!
