Is my baby hungry or not?

OK, my baby is 10 weeks old. he was on 5oz of sma gold but having them every 2-3 hours, i was advised to put him on the heavier milk (sma white) which i have(again 5oz )but he still wants a bottle every 2-3 hours.

Is he hungry or is he just being greedy?

I have let him crying and tried to occupy him with other things but it just doesnt work.

Any ideas?

Update:

He is gainng weight. He weighs12lb 13 which i was told to much for a baby of his age.

    Babies are not greedy, their hunger signals work perfectly. Feed him as much as he wants. He could be having a growth spurt, too. It is ok for him to eat a lot, babies are growing so fast. It is perfectly normal for babies to want to eat every 2 or 3 hours, even for some babies months older than yours. So, feed that babe! :)

    Addition- That weight is normal. There is a wide range of normal for babies' weights. Don't worry unless he weighs like 25 pounds at that age.

    Sounds like he's doing great if he's eating every 2-3 hours and gaining weight.

    Is he gaining too much weight?

    If not I would assume he is eating what he needs.

    just feed your baby until you know he/she doesnt want anymore...even if its being greedy you are giving the child what they want and fullfilling it's needs
